Extracapsular extension of prostate cancer: Anyone have this?

Not exactly, but Dr Lee (city of hope) declared the gel unnecessary. This was with the five MRI guided. Would Lee have place the gel? in treatment there. I was worried, but no problems since, though radiation takes a while to damage the epithelium.

My guy said the same but i did 21 treatments. In theory the gel sounds great but given the 1 or 2% chance of complications with placing of the gel, it kind of negates the 2 to 4% chance of serious long term rectal issues somewhat. That was the reasoning I was given and I just went with the docs advice.
