There’s a Q&A session at the end of his presentation. He’s asked “What happens to the prostate?” at about 4:56:30.

Just listened to to his explanation about hat happens to the prostate after proton radiation (He sort of implied any radiation). It shrinks 30 to 40% And if you have hormone therapy that shrinks even more.
With that much left, I wondered if BPH is a possibility after you have prostate radiation, and sure enough, a search of AI says it is possible and it’s not uncommon. Wonderful!

I’ve actually seen that video and saved some notes from it.
I’ve actually quoted here from statements made in that video.
I may have missed the QA at the end on that specific discussion. Will check it out.
