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.
Re: Questions for Dr. Jennings (on two different subjects)
AS - Active Surveillance - Regular and frequent PSA testing, & biopsies as required.
(I thought I was on AS but my oncologist said I wasn't since the PSA testing was neither regular or frequent; I think he called it watchful/hopeful waiting)
"For intermediate risk patients, the superior protocols are HDR and EBRT+Seeds. For high risk patients, the highest cure rate is provided by EBRT+Seeds+ADT. This would also be suitable for intermediate risk patients."
