I see that in November Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) scientists announced that they have developed a method to test DNA of PCa tumor to determine if ADT will provide any additional benefit over RT to high risk PCa patients. This sounds like a wonderful finding in that avoids unnecessary ADT for certain high risk patients!

Has anyone had their DNA tested using this method?

Bob,

Thanks for the post. I've not had my DNA tested. Since being DX in Oct. 2012, I'm always reading and trying to learn everything I can about PCa.

I'll keep following this thread.

Have a great day.
