Here is a clinical trial that does exactly that among men who are recurrent after prostatectomy at 213 sites around the US:

It is. It is for salvage radiation of pelvic LNs after prostatectomy when cancerous LNs have been detected, but none in bones.

I had both bone Mets and my whole para-aortic lymph node string zapped by Dr. Tang and his crew at MD Anderson in Houston. The bone Mets were quick, about 3 sessions each. The lymph node string took 28 sessions.

Hi 6357axbz,

How long ago and do you have any side effects? .... I suspect I will be doing the same thing in the future when my mets show up on PSMA scans
