I think it’s going to be difficult to find a case of prostate cancer that isn’t hormone sensitive. After many years of study, they have found that ADT Works, It suppresses testosterone, which then prevents the cancer from growing. Sure, How long the cancer will not grow depends on many things, But ADT works in almost every case to stop the cancer from proceeding.

Studies have found that a certain amount of ADT usage can not only suppress the growth of prostate cancer, but also in some cases can result in a cure. Only about 30% of prostate cancer cases have reoccurrences. Something must be working with the “standard of care”.

If you were on Medicare, which most prostate cancer patients are, The PSMA PET scan is not financially out of reach For most people.

In the future, we do expect a lot out of prostate cancer treatment. It would be nice if “precision medicine—genomic profiling, to determine actual tumor behavior” was perfected these days. Unfortunately, it’s not. Yes, in the future. We can expect genomic profiling to be done on the tumor and a custom treatment developed for each person, but this is not happening yet.
