Reported another way,’ nearly DOUBLE the men on AS had MET at 15 years vs those w RP or RT’…that is a huge risk that I would never take.
Article; “At 15 years, cancer had spread in 9.4% of the active-monitoring group, 4.7% of the surgery group and 5% of the radiation group.”
If u r going to pursue this beast by AS, get pMRI at intervals, get directed biopsies when u find this thing big enough, throw genetic testing at it, then sit back n decide if u want to just watch it grow inside u. If u can do this then u r a very brave man indeed. Rick
