I understand that you are only the messenger, but what they’re saying is really SO different from what we’ve all been told. Basically, they’re saying that SBRT to a lesion is more effective than salvage radiation because you can see it - it’s targeted.
But if there is a mass (greater than 2.7mm since PSMA can detect it) that you CAN see, it has to mean that there are micrometasteses that you CAN’T.
Isn’t that the current thinking? Or not? Are they including ADT in the treatments? Salvage radiation, at the very least, will take care of residual cells in the prostate bed and pelvic nodes - a site which if left untargeted will be a cause for treatment failure.
I know these are two highly respected men and I’ve watched a few of their YouTube videos. Personally I’ve found Scholz very blase’ and somewhat wishy-washy in his approach - almost like, why treat at all? It’s weird…probably more my problem than his!
