@vonsm01 Hi Dutchie,

Six urologist consultations and all six recommended surgery — that sounds about right. As they say, when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Thanks for sharing the Mount Sinai trial — I hadn't come across that one. Poly-ICLC injected directly into the tumour in AS patients is a fascinating approach. Immunotherapy in the active surveillance space is still early days but it's one of the most interesting research directions out there.

The fact that you participated in it is great — these trials only happen because men like you volunteer. I have to ask, how was it for you? Any positive outcomes?

Glad you're looking at evidence.zone too. If you spot anything missing or think something needs correcting, let me know — that's how it gets better.

Also really glad you're finding the book useful — I'd be very grateful for a review if you had time.

Best wishes,

Paul

Hi Paul,

I just started a new job and will circle back later to share my clinical trial experience with Poly-ICLC at Mount Sinai.
