Where do you find this stuff, Kevin? This is great. Of course, I hope it's irrelevant for a long time for me, but I know it isn't for you and might not be for me. Anyway, thanks.
That pretty much sums up the point I was making but I was referring to treatment strategies at much earlier stages. So the paper essentially contradicts what I'm advocating but I still question how solid the data is given very few patients probably did triplet when they were pre-(clinical) metastatic. Regarding certain cohorts of mHSPC patients it states:
"While early, aggressive treatment intensification with triplet regimens, with or without primary radiotherapy, may seem attractive in this cohort of patients to maximize survival outcomes, the reality is that such “maximal” treatment intensification is unnecessary in the majority of these patients."
