I found this video shocking. I am not a tumour, I'm a person and to be considered 'not appropriate' if my life expectancy is less than six months is galling.
For someone with bone mets, undergoing treatment with ADT + Abiraterone, what would be a correct definition of castration resistant prostate cancer? Will a resurgence of PSA or testosterone beyond a certain value be considered for it to have become castration resistant? I am assuming here the initial diagnosis with bone mets itself is not considered castration resistance, as this this needs to be built despite treatment with ADT.
