Yes, I covered it in 2015 when it was presented at the ASTRO meeting:

Anti-androgen therapy enhances outcomes of salvage radiation

Thanks - it did look familiar, but the February 2017 of the article threw me off.

I guess we are still waiting for the answer to, is six months HT as good as two years.
