Alan, great stats - I’ll take those odds as well! I guess it still comes down to early detection being the best treatment there is and AS is certainly all that in spades.
It further bolsters the advocacy for early screening and if more younger men were educated about it, they would embrace it rather than fear it.
Great post - as usual !

Just to add, I went back to the ProtecT UK study. Men in AS had nearly DOUBLE the rate of metastasis than men in either the surgery or radiation cohort (s). So now it’s a lifetime of ADT -and some required interventional treatment as well.
We all know how detrimental ADT can be, so again, we’re back to trading side effects from various treatment modalities even if we strip out the mortality factor….
Prostate Cancer simply sucks all around…
