Editor’s Pick: Prognostic tools are a good starting point for discussing treatment options with your doctors. (bj)
Topics Discussed
Online resources to compare multiple prognostic tools (e.g., nomograms, PSMA, NCCN) to diagnose our disease; initial considerations for treatment decisions, such as: some urologists view younger men as better candidates for surgery — be careful of this bias when considering your treatment options; PROSTOX saliva swab for germline DNA testing and avoiding toxicity from radiation therapy; getting the right information so you can make an informed decision; post SBRT urination problems include: frequency, urgency, and discomfort (burning, stinging, tingling); clarification on SBRT (a treatment) and Meridian (a radiation machine); urgency and incontinence; active surveillance; RTIRE trial acceptance; AnCan survey emailed to you — let us know what you think; a little humor with emotional support llamas; Happy Veterans Day.
