Help-what treatment plan has anyone selected for Perineural invasion?

At age 72, I had RP for G 9. And required Salvage Treatment postop. Now undetectable PSA < .02
I would have surgery again.
Others have been satisfied/happy with RT and ADT.
I wanted a chance for a "cure" and hoped that all the cancer could be removed by surgery. All postop areas clear, but EPE foretold persistence/recurrence and I needed the salvage treatment.
Best wishes on your choice.

Having an RP and follow up radiation 2 years later I have to wonder about the frequency percentage of left behind cells post-surgery and subsequent radiography to deal with it. Without investigation I suspect it is high. If I had to do it all over again, I would do a deep dive on rad vs RP. I hear of many that have to go back within two years for cells left behind. I know someone that is going with radiation for G9 for this reason and will be interested to see how it works out.
