Does prostate cancer start as low Gleason Score?

This issue of “can Gleason 6 grow into a higher grade?” Is one of the most debated topics on PCa forums. It is active on two other forums right now, for the umpteenth time. And, it need not be. The...

Wow... Got the biopsy results today

Oncotype DX testing: debating

I had an OncotypeDX test run about six years ago when I had a biopsy that raised questions about my staying in the JH AS program. As the company was having the test validated by Johns Hopkins, I was...

My First Dr. Smith Visit

He sounds like a fair-minded doctor, who should be a good choice to guide you. I'm not sure what BlackJack was trying to say, but I can tell you that Johns Hopkins' 20 year experience has been that...

cause-specific survival (CSS)

Whenever I quote or see someone else quoting the ACS statistics to a newbie, there is usually a reply by someone saying that there may be many men on ADT or chemo who are living, but not fully, and...

Surgery vs. Radiation Therapy in Chicago

One more note. The triple play combo of IMRT, Brachytherapy, and ADT has been shown to be the most effective therapy for high risk cases. I'm not sure that that your pathology requires that level of...

Surgery vs. Radiation Therapy in Chicago

Surgeons recommend surgery, that's their business. Did he also tell you that surgery has a recurrence rate of about 32 percent (studies range from 25-40 percent)? Those men then need radiation, which...

45 year old...2nd biopsy results in...AS questions

KevC, The costs of the MRI's and biopsies are less than the surgery or radiation sessions. But, maybe over 10 or 15 years, the might be a savings to immediate treatment, I will guess that they...

Active Surveilance
