My dad is at the point where he needs/wants to make the decision for the next step. Surgery and Seeds are not an option, so which one of the well know radiation therapies would you recommend - proton, IGRT, IMRT or .....? We have not discussed this with a radiation oncologist yet, probably in the next few weeks.
Age 69 y.
Intermediate grade t1c - located in the prostate - not spread outside
6/11/14 biopsy - Gleason score 3+3=6 - 5%; 3+4=7 - 20%; 3+3=6 - 1%; 3+3=6 - 10%; 3+4=7 - 30%; 3+4=7 - 40%; and 3+4=7 - 20%
PSA:
3/15/13-7.71, 4/1/13-7.22, 3/11/14-8.89, 3/18/14-10.52
After diagnosed, started hormonal therapy (Lupron 3 months). First PSA Nov.'14 was 4.2
Thanks in advance!
