How long can a person survive on ADT if resistance doesn't occur? --- This is a great question and without the ability to give an answer (because it depends on many factors), I would offer encouragement and self-education by checking out the PCF webinar from last month (October 17, 2023: Advanced Prostate Cancer Series: Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Disease) and also watching the upcoming webinar (November 29, 2023: Advanced Prostate Cancer Series: Metastatic Castration-Resistant Disease), both are available within this link: https://www.pcf.org/pcf-webinar-series/

For myself, I have heard stories that ADT efficacy can last from months to years to decade plus. Some folks stay on ADT for a long-time, others become resistant and have to enhance their treatment package.

Thanks for the video link. My medical oncologist thinks 24-30 months will be the limit of this combination therapy then another that lasts a year then another that lasts 6months then predicts cancer will explode. Worth noting Zytiga/orgovyx combo first talked about in literature in Jan of 22. No long term results are yet possible as the combination is new. Psa undetectable scans show tumor remnants non-existent no enlarged lymph nodes testosterone 15-20. Wouldn’t mind staying on this course.
