Prostox - learn about whether radiation will cause problems

@surftohealth88 If your choice is RP vs IMRT vs SBRT the Prostox test can help you avoid late side effects by choosing a primary treatment with less probability. If you are locked into IMRT or SBRT as the only treatment it will just increase your worry and apprehension if it comes back with high risk. If you have a choice between IMRT and SBRT it is still valuable since less than 15% of those that test high risk do so on both the IMRT and the SBRT tests.

Thanks so much for your input. That is the whole problem - I read that Prostox is valuable for salvage therapy and one of the members was told that by dr. Kishan himself, so I am confused why our RO refused doing that test and how is Prostox valuable for salvage therapy (because it supposedly IS). Perhaps it helps with planing of how many sessions and what amount of total radiation should be administered for the least possible damage ??? I would really like to know definite answer and I did not get it even after contacting Prostox.
