Only thing to remember is that they cannot biopsy something ‘ablated’. I had GreenLight laser ablation 7 yrs ago - worked to relieve BPH but that overgrowth could have been the cancer that was found 7 yrs later on biopsy.

What about ablation for an individual hot spot that might appear on recurrence?. I have been brainstorming the idea that my metastasis might only show a pea sized or similar tumor like the first recurrence and that might be a one and done.when I stop adt I can get a definitive petscan and if the tumor is accessible that might be less onerous than radiation series.
