The difference between no treatment and the use of radiation
and androgen depravation appears to be about an 8% increase in survival time
for those who are treated
Is it worth it for an additional 8% considering the side
effects of treatment?
Would it be a better plan to use the dietary measures
mentioned above to treat recurrent prostate cancer?
