❝Well…if you prefer magic to RCT’s…it’s a free country….give it a spin❞
🙂 Not at all. I just treat individual RCTs as important but non-definitive steps towards knowledge (I need a much-larger accumulation of research over time before I trust them). They're definitely better than "magic" or homeopathy or fad diets or taking veterinary deworming meds, but still require some healthy skepticism, at least until they've been reviewed and reproduced many times.
In this case, it's irrelevant from a practical point of view as I mentioned before. Because of the value of physical activity for general health and side-effect mitigation, it's is the right choice for people with advanced prostate cancer *regardless* of whether it turns out that it actually reduces the risk of progression or just correlates with a reduced risk of progression.
