Yes. On a recent webinar presentation a doctor showed a slide (I think it was Kwon from Mayo) that of 44,000 patients there were 2,200 treatment paths. Long story short, there isn't one size fits all for prostate cancer, and with new treatments becoming available, the overall treatment paths continues to increase. --- This is why I'm a firm believer in self-education and meeting your health team in the middle in terms of the decision making. That isn't to say this is the right approach for everyone, but it can help.
