Less overall radiation, but given at slightly higher doses over about half the normal weeks of therapy, does as well, or better, than slightly lower doses done for nearly double the number of sessions.

We can choose the isodose radiotherapy and have fewer complications, far fewer sessions and weeks, and have a five year progression free expectation of 77%.

The stats I found from the Brits show 98.6 cancer free and 6 years on.

I went with he 5 session / 40 Gy does. The intimal side effects were no fun, but faded after a couple of weeks.

The placing of the target was less than pleasant, by my oncologist was happy with the results.

My first blood test (PSA) came back as 0.03. Hopefully, it stays that way.

I had proton radiation 5 days a week for 23 sessions. My PSA is now 0.04 and has been for quite some time. I also had testosterone deprivation shots for a year. Remission is a good thing.

Fortunately may prostate cancer was caught at the earliest sage and I opted for the HIFU procedure. One day procedure, no pain, no chemotherapy follow up. Was able to mow grass the next day.

Guys get that yearly wellness exam with a PSA test.

I would like to see the trial expanded to include Ivermectin (IVM) vs radiation to treat cancer. What does Big Pharma have to lose? /s
