Thank you, TA. Very informative. I am Stage IV, with spread to the regional lymph nodes discovered during surgery. I have heard conflicting comments as to whether that truly qualifies as "metastatic" or not. If not, and since it is not "local," what is the appropriate category and what NCCN guidelines apply?
I agree, especially for guidelines for Intermediate Risk with life expectancy <=10 years which differed before. Now "Observation" vs is preferred over AS or treatment.
Thanks TA - always good to see it laid out clearly
Thank you, TA
Very helpful, but doesn't include brachytherapy in the discussion of treatment options.
You're right, it's so briefly mentioned compared to the other topics that I missed it. Thanks!
