What I got out of the video I watched was that he was celebrating the growing recognition of "oligometastatic" as a disease stage, with preferred treatment of ADT, ARSI, and curative doses of radiation to the primary location and each metastasis.

He was also frustrated that some practitioners were taking it too far and radiating 5+ metastases. In those cases (which aren't really "oligo"), he recommended a big dose of chemo up front as part of a "triplet therapy" instead.

Does that match your reading, assuming you saw the same video? Also, I should note that it's many months since I watched it, so I might be misremembering parts.

I don't know which video you may be referring to. He has a lot of videos and I haven't seen all of them. I was particularly interested in one of his videos discussing Lutetium-177 which is used for metastatic spread of prostate cancer. At my last PSMA PET in April, there was no indication of it spreading, but, Lutetium was discussed with my oncologist and I just wanted to learn more.
