I already posted the following in another thread, but I will add it here too, since it is relevant:
On the question of "who benefits from ADT and is it worth the side effects"? I just had an appointment with my RO at Johns Hopkins where he considered whether to add ADT to SRT. (Short story: I had RALP in 9/25; PSA still low but rising; aggressive cancer (IDC, Cribriform, EPE, Decipher .89, but clean margins on pre-surgery PET). The determining factor for him to add ADT was the detailed report that accompanied the Decipher one page summary. It showed I had Luminal B, an aggressive subgroup. The trial (which has not yet been peer reviewed) NRG GU006 (BALANCE) showed a clear benefit of adding apalutamide to SRT. If you have a high Decipher score, ask your doctor to get the detailed report that accompanies the one page summary. You can also google "NRG GU006 (BALANCE) and Luminal B" to see a discussion of the study.

Hey Bikeman 🙂 - did you start your therapy ? I hope that you have zero SA from ADT and apalutamide 🍀

How many Gys will you get and in how many sessions ?
