I think that the progress has been an improvement in the performance of prostatectomy, the delivery of radiation and the addition/management of ADT therapy.
I had robotic prostatectomy with excellent surgical results, and would choose that again.
A center of excellence and/or a very experienced surgeon are important.
And we all wish that there were better options/treatments.
And we are all fighting cancer.
Best wishes.

Thanks Micheal - glad you had great outcome! I do have one of the 'better' urologists in the area (upstate SC). A center of excellence is an excellent idea.

As far as robotics, perhaps the newer machines are better but not sure how old my urologist's are. There are studies using imaging during the process but this doesn't make sense to me - the robot surgeries I saw was pretty hi-res - maybe the imaging better shows the nerves?

But I digress...

Thanks
