Oligometastatic disease is less than FIVE lesions and
SBRT can deal with them. Unmentioned is the 'PSMA'
PET CT results for the Prostate itself. I do remember
a PCRI.org video on Brachytherapy 101. They commented that even Turped patients can be treated
as there is usually enough tissue around to focus the
permanent low dose seeds safely away from urethra.
The key is to find a clinician who has done many many procedures. What did the scan show on the prostate itself.

This is helpful info, thank you. I have not read about brachytherapy so I will learn more and will look for that video. I don't know what the specifics were for the scan of the prostate itself, so will find out. Thank you for your comments!
