@jeffmarc We exist on this planet bathed in cosmic rays 24/7 and always have and always will.
If he is going to blame this factor in our environment for becoming castrate resistant, you might as well blame it for every cancer there is.
I’ve read the articles/comments you’ve posted by him and they are quite informative about the role of ADT and how it relates to CRPCa, but his cosmic ray theory is a bridge too far for me.
Cosmic rays can cause mutations in anything and everything, depending on their intensity so it almost seems superfluous to bring it up.
I mean, millions of men do NOT become CRPCa, yet they are bombarded by these same cosmic rays so I can’t see his reasoning at all on this.
I think it comes down to the individual, their particular cancer genetics, and their immune system…ie, some will - and some won’t. Just my take from what I’ve gleaned from the literature. Best,
Phil

@jeffmarc - Heck Jeff, cosmic rays make as much sense as anything else at this point. Maybe the CDx will shed light on some strange mut causing the short timeline to CRPC. My concern now is how much the PET is going to light up.
