I think Surfer mixed up her percentages🤔 in translation - it’s more like 60% success and even a bit higher with the addition of ADT.
Dr Kwon says that about 35% of SRT fails, which is why he likes to shoot only what he sees…which makes absolutely NO SENSE when you consider SRT is almost 65% successful.

Hi Phil - you are absolutely right , that is what studies show 👍.

I was referring to what Dr K. said in that video trying to reiterate his point of view and saying that even if HIS percents are "correct" that even THAN early sRT makes sense. According to him about 30 % would not have any benefit , and in earlier part he said that about 30% do have recurrence in pelvic area so it leaves about 30% with "some" benefit I guess lol - one should ask him about that. I was trying to follow his reasoning to make a point that even IF it is just 30 % chance it would be a great chance. Once cancer leaves that area, there is no chance.

I personally have no intention to follow something not proven in any randomized study. 😊
