Prostate Cancer Outcomes - Report Card

Posted by handera @handera, Feb 7 5:07pm

This February 2023 “report card” studied >8500 South Australian men after receiving different PCa treatments (diagnosed between 2008 to 2018). Outcomes for men with advanced/ metastatic are not included.

For those diagnosed with “Low” and “Intermediate” risk, the lowest number of PCa related deaths per 1000 men, within 10 years of diagnosis, were those who began with Active Surveillance (better than RP surgery), even though the average age of both groups was comparable (64 for RP & 65 for AS)….interesting…

This report card also contains a lot of data regarding side effects, comparing issues before and one year after treatment decisions.

Any comments?

Thanks Hammer101,
Your reply is just what i've wanted to see, what little i could find out about Dr. Frank he is at the top of my list. I didn't put him in my post on purpose just to see if anyone would mention/recommend him.

Thanks, Rick29
