The 5-year relative survival rate for stage 4 prostate cancer, according to the SEER data, is around 30-32% according to SERO and the American Cancer Society https://treatcancer.com/blog/prostate-cancer-survival-rates/.

I am agreeing that these number are now obsolete. With the advancement of treatments the 5 year survival rate for stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer has raised significantly.

What I was trying to communicate is that the SEER data was primarily not solely based on ADT as the main treatment.

The stats for triplet therapy are still coming into focus and are much better than the SEER data statistics.

The point I am trying to make is this, when I was diagnosed the Oncologist told me, do not look on the internet for how long you can live with stage 4 prostate cancer. Those stats are old and now obsolete due to the advances in the last 6 years. I was told everyone's different and if I responded it was possible to treat this disease as a chronic illness. That was in 2022.

To me that is encouraging and makes me feel I have hope for the future. There is hope.
