Are castration sensitive prostate cancer patients being over treated?

@smoore4 You mentioned genetic tests Our radiation oncologist did not do a genetics test. I asked him about it and he said that was because my husband's father developed prostate cancer when he was in his 60's. Therefore, genetics wouldn't apply. I think I have read that genes mutate and change . Does anyone know about this?

That is one of the most absurd statements I’ve ever heard of As an excuse for not Doing genetic testing.. Having prostate cancer, that young can be directly caused by a genetic problem. I had it at 62 because I have BRCA2 Which I got from my mother. My brother got it at 77 because he doesn’t have BRCA2, but our father died of prostate cancer, which doubles the chance.
That doctor was incompetent when it comes to Understanding, genetic testing.
