What does it say? That you have ro remove the prostate to remove one potential source of future recurrences? I.e., that radiation has a persistent long-term risk?

I think it says that surgery or radiation on the prostate is valuable even if there are metastatic spots because the escaped cells are out circulating and still communicating with the original tumor (the mothership). And this communication strengthens and invigorates the circulating cells.
