I suspect that moving past the aggregate numbers, the younger you are at the time of your RALP, the more likely you'll live long enough to see recurrence.

(Not based on a study or trial; just an hypothesis.)

@northoftheborder Right you are - Good and valid point... Although I cant see a direct correlation ,there is some correlation with longer life come more problems potentially . It's a very good point ! Like soem men are on ADT , ADT is known to be very hard on your heart and can complicate Cadio vascular things .... Now with Estradiol coming on stream , that may lessen somewhat ! Who knows, Estradiol may be a first line therapy one day (?) .
