"Prediction Tools Not Available" when I tried to use the link. When I searched on "nomograms prostate" it came up with site. Odd. Pipboy, Keep in mind that much of the data is based on past results which would be more negative based on poorer treatment. Although it is continually being updated, the assessment is going to be still on the negative side (Meaning your actual results will probably be better). There are so many new therapies out there that it in all probability if it did reoccur it will be like a chronic illness. But if you have concerns contact your doctor. Note they did not ask about seminal vessel and lymph node invasion which does seem odd. There are probably assumptions built into the model which in your case means the assessment probably errors on being too pessimistic. But I am not a doctor although I play one on TV. If you are concerned, talk to your Urologist/Radiation Oncologist. That is why they make the big bucks.
