What?!? "Curing" oligometastatic prostate cancer???

Yes, that man should definitely get a second opinion. 😕

It might turn that the oncologists who believe oligometastatic prostate cancer can be "cured" are right — I very much hope they are, and there's increasing evidence to support them — but it still feels a bit early to use the "c" word with patients for any type of stage 4 cancer. My hopes rise only as high as long-term functional remission (for now).

Perhaps a “well controlled Stage 4”? Make it just like Diabetes and we’re done.
