And if you were 79 with a gleason score 8 and localized? What about Orgovyx and nothing else?

Call me crazy but if I were an 80 year old with a gleason score of 8 that was localized to the prostate, I would do absolutely nothing.

Why would I treat?

72/73 with G 9 localized.
Chose RP at center of excellence.
Excellent recovery. BCR postop,followed by salvage treatment with radiation and 4 mos Orgovyx.
Would choose it again.
So many factors involved in decision making: Health and objectives, so much more and so personal.
I would choose treatment: Surgery or radiation.
ADT alone does not kill prostate cancer.
Very personal decision.
Best wishes.
