@mpersonne They say when younger and good health surgery is often the best treatment. But I've read around 50% of men that have RP end up needing radiation anyway. I'm older but after much research seeing HDR brachytherapy, 23-25 IMRT radiation sessions and maybe ADT gives localized prostate cancer patients a 90%+ "proven" 10 yr success "cure" rate that took surgery off the table for me. Wishing you the best.

Thanks, I'm leaning in the same direction for the same reasons you listed.
