I'm confused about something, and I'm hoping someone can clarify.
In an interview I saw with UCLA's Michael Steinberg re: PSMA imaging, he says that there's a 50-50 chance of finding something at PSA 0.2, and if you wait until you're at 0.35, you're risking missing a chance of preventing metastatic disease. If you find something and radiate it, with Gleason 8+ (mine is G4+5=9), it should be done with 12 - 18 months' ADT. Is this correct?
My local people are telling me that treatment isn't mandatory until my PSA is in whole numbers, as high as 4 or 5. I suppose they both can be correct. I.e., in the absence of a positive scan, it's OK to wait much longer. Correct?
Has anyone come across anything recently that further validates tE2 as ADT?
Thanks very much.
