Thanks Jeff - did they say for what gleason ?

Do you have stats for RT ?

I mean, for us RP is a must, but for the sake of other members here it would be nice to have some links for RT and RP and possibly done in more recent years and for the same gleason score.

Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi Surftohealth88. Here's a reference to a (free) Sloan Memorial Kettering database on 10,000 of their patients history after proctectomy. You enter your information and it gives the percentage of BCR. You can play with it and it shows how much the percentage increases due to certain factors (gleason, grade, positive margins, etc):

Here is the answer using the query below in google

Approximately 20% to 30% of men experience a recurrence of prostate cancer after radiation treatment, typically within five years following the initial therapy. The likelihood of recurrence can vary based on factors like the extent and aggressiveness of the cancer, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. Some studies indicate that recurrence rates can range from 15% to 70% after definitive radiation therapy.

You can use this search to find answers by adding for example SBRT before radiation to get the more specific results for that type of radiation
“what percentage of people have reoccurrence after a radiation treatment for prostate cancer”
