Thanks for that info. Do you have a link to the study?
I'll mention it to my RO on Monday, but even before seeing the study I'm guessing it's far too early to talk about causation; it probably detected a small-but-statistically significant correlation that would need to be investigated further. I'd also have to know the type(s) of PCa where they found the apparent correlation (advanced or early? non-metastatic, oligometastatic, or high-load metastatic? etc).
The only relevant study I could find with my own web search was one about using Apalutamide to *treat* neuroendocrine cancer successfully, which shows how tricky it can be drawing conclusions from isolated studies.
