Yes, I am also aware of those studies. However, I followed the advice at the time of Dr. David Samadi, a renowned prostate cancer specialist who advocates removal even in cases where the cancer has spread outside the prostate.

You can find studies of all types that show different outcomes to support your decision. The truth is that prostate cancer studies often take many years to develop. Having helped design studies in the field of psychology, I can tell you that scientific studies have so many variables that it can be mind spinning and different outcomes can be arrived at with one change in one variable. Plus, we are also all individuals and not statistics.

Agree, an exact science is non existent due to too many variables. Who can make the best guess is what it amounts to for each patient.
