Weighing the cancer risk reduction & quality-of-life cost of ADT?

Great comment and several new studies show that ADT treatment only helps a relatively small number of men, but almost all men suffer severe side effects. My side effects were the worst I have read about, and I believe a third dose going beyond 4 months would have killed me. Duke, Harvard and Swedish studies seriously question the effectiveness and safety of taking ADT. They hope to be able to determine how to identify the men that will benefit and restrict ADT to those men only.

Not sure you saw this. At The Mayo Clinic monthly meeting this week they showed this slide of somebody who only had ADT. Check out the improvement in metastasis.
