Exactly - studies are few and far between. Just had long talk with a gerontologist friend who is also a G8 PC survivor (had surgery). He said he could find no data about G8 and proton. He also thought my husband would need additional treatment for enlarged prostate. I have contacted two proton centers to ask about the Lupron but the (limited) info I've found on the net says ADT is standard for G8.

Update: Heard back from one proton center. They would require Lupron and would not be able to treat the enlarged prostate. So it looks like RP is the only option. My husband is ok with this decision and it's a relief to be able to stop my all-night research.
