It is agreed that the main reason the U.S. lost in Vietnam was because we fought the war incrementally, which gave the enemy a chance to adapt to each new move. Apply the lesson to PCa and throw powerful combinations right at the beginning, not incrementally which allows the cancer to readily adapt.

There have been many analogies for cancer over the years. This site has compiled quite a few of them, and also has some interesting secondary links for further exploration.

As in real life, a complex analogy, such as to "War", can be as variable as the subject of War, itself, or the many differing ideas about specific wars, strategies, tactics, and outcomes .... compared by analogy to the human body and the biological diversities of cancers.

I believe in that stretegy too.
Gleason Score ( low, medium or high ) alone is sufficient to nullify the meaning of the analogy given. I fully agree with Charles.

Sorry, dude. That hit with a thud.
Who says we lost the the war in Vietnam? Comments like that have no place in this forum. They do nothing but open old wounds and bad memories. As a member of the 75th Rangers who lived like an animal in the jungles of Vietnam, I consider your comment a personal insult. I was exposed to agent orange which caused my prostate cancer. Furthermore, Vietnam is the only war the United States fought in and never lost a major battle. Sir, with all due respect, your analogy is extremely skewed.
I believe in your strategy gus. Give the cancer everything medicine's got to kill it and at the beginning and all at once..
Hopefully this strategy will let me live for a long, long time. So far it's working - knock on wood.
