My understanding is that yes, one can start ADT to stop cancer growth but somebody here also mentioned that it can change final pathology report. Please check about that and this would apply only if your husband is planing to have a prostatectomy. If he plans to have radiation I think that starting ADT would even be beneficial. You need to find a specialist for prostate cancer, regular urologists are often not equipped to give valid advice.

PS: I also found studies that showed that 6 mos made no difference in low and intermediate cancer growth, BUT, I can understand your plight - my husband was diagnosed in March and we had to wait for every app. for eons. He will have surgery NEXT month *sigh ... And yes, we live in the USA.

PPS: Regarding PM , if you just made your profile, you will not be able to send any (you can receive them though) until some "initiation" period passes.

Thank you so much for your reply! We are seeing a top notch Urologist who specializes in prostate ca robotic surery, but we are still looking around to see if we can make it happen sooner. Wish you and your husband all the very best in this journey!

@shalom7777777 and @surftohealth88 My radiation oncologist started me on ADT in March two weeks before my SBRT April 9 - 21, 2025. (I was Gleason 7 (3+4) on 3 of 14 cores, unfavorable intermediate.) I have no information if my cancer center's surgery patients are put on ADT prior to operation.
