Your case is pretty serious. You need to have radiation followed by ADT. As a Gleason nine You should be on ADT for 24 months. There’s plenty of Information about how this is beneficial, You just have to create a search algorithm and go looking for exactly what you want to see. Lots of documentation On the benefits of ADT for somebody with cancer like you have.

Looks like you’re trying to avoid a major decision. You could have SBRT but EBRT will spread The radiation over many more sessions.

It’s possible that SBRT (cyberknife) Could do the job, If you don’t have cribriform. In that case, you would have to have follow up radiation.

Please see your doctor about this. I’ve supplied the above so you can have more information when you discuss treatment with them.

Hi Jeff

Thanks for replying. I'm already on ADT & ARSI (Orgovyx and Nubequa). Treatment plan, as presented, is stay on ADT & ARSI for 3-4 months then add 30 +/- sessions of EBRT while continuing ADT & ARSI indefinitely. I'm looking for a study, everyone keeps referring to, that states adding EBRT, to a patient with low volume mCSPC already under treatment with ADT & ARSI, is more beneficial than ADT & ARSI alone and how much so. It's the how much so part that will guide my decision as to radiation or not. EBRT is to prostate only, not any metastasizes.

And...I found them. It's the STAMPEDE trial and the HORRAD trial.
