I was replying to seasuite. I don't think they just remove the tumor, but the whole prostate. Perhaps they can do ablation which I wouldn't be interested in with Gleason 9.
After removal PSA should drop too undetectable.
If PSA starts rising it is considered a reoccurrence.
It is somewhat common for cancer cells to be left behind and a pathology slide can show this, as it did in my case.
ADT and SMRT radiation is the Standard of Care.
One month in with mild side effects from treatment.
