Thank you.

So the T-levels return naturally? and the testosterone no longer will feed any remaining cancer? Or the cancer is totally gone so the T is no longer a threat?

As I read it, the T-levels were allowed to return naturally, because the androgen deprivation therapy was stopped at 18 or 36 months—seemingly because the cancer was not back.

It also seems testosterone coming back or not was tied to overall survival rates. In people in which it came back (naturally), they did better.

It doesn't seem to talk to adding testosterone, though.

This is how I read the item.
