Looks like I have a game plan with the Stephenson Cancer Center at the University of Oklahoma.
Lupron treatment( hormone therapy).
MRI/CT Scan one week before SRBT radiation treatment.
SRBT radiation treatment (imaging guided and 5 visits). Does not include the visit for the placement of the markers.
Onward!

I've never heard of using hormone therapy for favorable intermediate risk PCa. Why would you do that to yourself?
They achieved 5-year bRFS of 100% without ADT in this trial:

BTW- you seem to be rushing your decision with no reason.

What percent of your cores had cancer? What was your PSA?
Reply (0)Report
7 out of 15 cores
PSA 6.2

Less than half (and if multiple cores were taken from an area of interest, it only counts as one).

I will have to ask what data they are looking at to add the hormone therapy with my radiation treatments.

There is nothing that shows a benefit by adding ADT to radiation for favorable intermediate risk.

As someone who was immediate high risk with a Gleason 7(4+3) and 6.8 PSA, excellent plan. Keep kicking the little bastards!

That link has nothing to do with your kind of prostate cancer, which is metastatic, and should be treated with chemo and hormone therapy.

Maybe start a new thread with your questions or PM me, as this is irrelevant to the OP.
