Just read this report from 2022. Note especially the Conclusion.

Which report are you citing? I don't see a link.

My bad! Not allowed to post links as a new subscriber, but having re-read the data on risk factors associated with dose-elevated RT I have decided that it is not relevant to the debate. My apologies. Thanks for your link BTW.

Makes my happier about stopping after radiation.

Hey gently, in addition to the link you posted there were other articles that were pretty definitive concerning Intermediate Unfavorable Diagnoses. There was a marked INCREASE in BCR and CCR in patients who received radiation without ADT.
Very happy I chose ADT even though my PSA did not call for it. Many thanks for those articles!
