JEff,
Do you know of any cases someone with Gleason 9 or 10 and were on ADT for 24 to 36 months and still had cancer recurrence with metastasis within a year or two?

It definitely happens. Something don’t have it come back for years and others. Have it come back within months.

That’s one of those things the decipher test can tell you you’re probability of it happening

People have come into the Ancan.org advanced prostate cancer meeting after having this happen. It is not uncommon, but I would guess that more than half of the people who are on ADT for that long can go for more than a year before a reoccurrence.

Reoccurrence is not guaranteed. I’ve seen a few people over the years with Gleason nines that have gone a long time without reoccurrence, In some cases, 20-30 years,.. Gleason 10 is so rare that I cannot comment about that, very few people have a 10.
