Well, as you probably have heard, some doctors keep a close look at the decipher score and if it’s high, will decide that ADT is necessary after radiation or surgery.
Once that decision has been made, If the PSA stays low, as you are mentioning (.05) Then ADT could be stopped after six months. Even with aggressive cancer, a low PSA for a year or more can be an indicator that ADT can be dropped, To see if it will work. A lot of people are doing it.
