@colleenyoung I am scheduled for a consult for Monotherapy SBRT on April 23rd . 2025 .
I am currently on Active Surveillance , 4 Cores out of 16 Gleason 3 +3 = 6 with 2 Cores Gleason 3 + 4 = 7 . I am considering SBRT at this time and my query to the Radiation Oncologist will be
" Would you consider 2 Fractions of SBRT to the Gleason 7 Cores Only ? "
It's a curiousity question only . My Urologist, Dr Andrew Loblaw , at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto was involved in the : SBRT TOFFEE Meta Analysis - European Association of Urology .
which studied 2 Fractions vs 5 Fractions . He was also involved in the Phase 3 Pace " B " Trial .
I will keep you posted .
p.s. I am 85 years young and in otherwise excellent health , excepr for taking Dutasteride for
my BPH ( was previously on Flomax ) . I may well , at my age continue on AS .
Five treatments scheduled.
