@jeffmarc I would think that since BPH isn’t necessarily related to prostate cancer, that having an enlarged prostate is relative to the size of a normal prostate,

Post-radiation treatment, an enlarged prostate due to BPH would be relative to its 30%-40% “now normal” smaller size.

(I’m still not onboard with taking everything AI says without some background.)

@brianjarvis And my question is always this: if the ‘healthy’ cells survive, how do we know that the damage incurred was such that it now made those cells anaplastic?
If salvage radiation comes with the caveat of secondary cancers, why wouldn’t it come from primary radiation as well inside the prostate?
