Fascinating article, bud! So PTEN is a really big factor in this whole grab bag of possibilities…and it’s not inherited, but acquired. It is not a death sentence but will definitely prevent ADT alone from controlling the progression.
So far they don’t know how or why, but they have a drug for it…damn, the head literally spins trying to stay current with this disease….thanks for the article👍

Mark Perloe (retired MD), author of the article, was diagnosed with PCa in March 2020 and decided on MRI guided SBRT after a PMSA PET scan found evidence of metastatic disease.
He spends time advocating and supporting men diagnosed with PCa.
He called me (I had no connection except through a support group) a couple years ago, just to provide information and his experience regarding various aspects of MRI guided SBRT, when I was investigating this particular treatment type.
Dr Perloe is an amazingly intelligent physician with a kind heart towards helping PCa men in his retirement!
