I am very impressed with this talk. The presentation is very good. And what he has to say about the improvements in treatment of prostate cancer is very understandable. And the main message we are talking away from this talk is that the approaches to treatments should be more and more individualized and not necessarily following the common protocoll.
See what you think.

Hi Mel. I can’t wait to listen to this. Visiting our oldest son for Christmas & everyone is still asleep. I agree with your takeaway that ALL treatment should be individualized! I continue research, read and learn since I lost my hubby to CRPC because I am very concerned for our sons 50 & 51. Our oldest just got PSA results 2.4. GP said “no problem, that’s normal”. At my insistence he got a referral to a urologist because of his Dad & Dad’s brother both having PC and their Mom had breast cancer. He goes in 2 weeks. I am going to have him listen to this also. So thank you again for posting! All the best to your hubby in his battle against this beast and to you as caregiver. Strength and encouragement to you both!
Alpharadin is now called Xofigo. To note, this presentation is more than 2 years old, so there’s even more improvement in treatments and imaging techniques now. Agree that one size fits all is not the trend anymore, but ‘standard of care’ is slow to catch up.
