@jeffmarc Thanks for sharing that.
It sounds like Rick Davis has decided to align himself with the STAMPEDE finding published in 2018, showing that there was a significant overall-survival improvement from radiating the primary/prostate for cancer with "low metastatic burden" (aka oligometastatic), but not with "high metastatic burden".

@northoftheborder Yes, you have to wonder how close to the end those patients with high metastatic burden really were.
I mean, people DO still die from PCa today even with all the drugs and treatments medicine has to offer, right?
So treating the primary source of cancer was probably a case of ‘too little, too late’ in those cases…
