Chart of various options for treatment

[lss65]

This may be wishful thinking, but has anyone in this forum developed a flow chart or other organized system indicating the various paths men may consider at different decision points in their cancer journey? I would think it would not need to be comprehensive, but should be fairly complete on the basics and indicate where alternative therapies might well be considered, and then individuals could add in more interesting alternatives as they research further on this website. Because of the SOC backbone to thinking about treatment options, it seems this type of flow chart would not be too hard to create, with branches left open for additional possibilities.

This type of visual aid would be particularly helpful to us newbies just getting our feet soaked in so much science it is simply overwhelming.

NCCN has done that:

nccn.org/patients/guideline...

That is the most comprehensive guide on the subject of Prostate Cancer I have ever seen. Thank you Tall Allen for posting this response and thank you lss65 for asking the question.

lss 65: I put together a flow diagram (if. then, else) for early stage post RP but never posted it as I hadn't vetted it sufficiently. The document Tall Allen provided the link to appears all inclusive and goes well beyond what I did.

84 pages printing now.

Thanks again TA, you are always there for us!
