While the study shows three out of five have prostate cancer reoccurrence, when you consider a case of Seminal vesicle invasion, I suspect you would find that the reoccurrence rate is much higher.

That three out of five figure is including everybody, Not just people that had aggressive issues.

I know in my case it was 3 1/2 years after surgery before it came back. I’ve run into people that have gone 10, 20 even 30 years after surgery or radiation before it came back. You know those people are really frustrated finding that out.

I have to agree, after all that I saw and read so far (and it is a ton), my opinion is that if you live long enough it will reoccur. 🙁

Since most patients are older man and 20 or 30 years "down the road" never happen to them, good % of patients have "no recurrence" for that reason IMHO.

BUT, who is to look into teeth of a gifted horse ??? !!!! : )))
