@scottbeammeup my ro told me the same. Also told me brachytherapy was no better than imrt. Hate to say but it appears they are selling us their bag of goods.
@scottbeammeup I was also initially discouraged when I saw the PCRI video. However, after thinking about it, I realized the PCa radiation patients in this study had their radiation treatments a long time (nearly 20 years) ago.
I think today's PCa radiation technology and the corresponding patient outcomes will be significantly better.
Having completed my SBRT treatment for Gleason 4+3 PCa less than four months ago, improved outcomes are what I'm expecting.
