@jeffmarc Jeff, I listened to the video and did not find anything that said radiation was less effective that a prostectomy. The whole discussion was on the results with prostatectomy. In the latter part of the video there was this comment on radiation:
“Dra. Cornelia Ding: I think one comment I will have is that this paper is focusing on radical prostatectomy. But we know a significant portion of prostate cancer patients may opt for different treatments, like chemotherapy or radiation. So they might not have radical prostatectomy. So how to apply this system into patients who only have biopsy for histology evaluation will be a really interesting question, which I know Cleveland Clinic is working on. And we are also trying to validate in our patient cohort too..” This simply implies they and the the Cleveland Clinic are looking at the cases with radiation but do not have any results yet.
If there is a comment on the relative ineffectiveness of radiation as compared to surgery for prostate cancer with Cribriform glands could you provide the location by minute and second in that video.
The twenty eighth minutes it took to listen to the video was not a complete loss for me. I saved some of the graphs that showed that Cribriform with small glands had some very favorable outcomes. I intend to use those in a forthcoming discussion with my oncologist on suspenion of ADT. My biopsy report indicates presence of Cribriform but no large Cribriform glands were observed.
