No, I don’t either; it does not have to be a discreet tumor or even small ones - just thousands of cells loosely aggregated in the prostate bed and nodes. That’s why you need multiple lighter doses to the entire area.

If you’d like to hear about that, go to YouTube and look up the PCRI conference at the end of March. The last hour and a half or so has Moyad talking to Scholz about a lot of things. Dr. Scholz was pretty confident that SBRT was the way to go. Instead of salvage radiation. You want some more information. Listen to that part of the discussion, you can just skip forward to it.
According to AUAjournals Adding short-term androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) to SRT (salvage RT) can increase the 10-year progression-free survival rate to 64% compared to 49% for SRT alone.
