This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
Thanks for the prompt replies. There are different ways of measuring prostate volume. Using height, width and length will not be accurate. But 3D ultrasound finds the shape very well by measuring the cross sections along the prostate. This was used in my volume study.
Your pre-brachytherapy volume study procedure is the most accurate determination of volume (with a prostate still inside you).
For a prostate size of 49 cc, the average typical rate of ongoing enlargement would be not much more than 1 cc per year. Therefore your prostate volume would still be less than 50 cc on 20th June.
