Think of it this way: with positive margins, you KNOW that the cancer is local, where it may potentially be cured by locally-directed salvage radiation; with negative margins, there is increased suspicion that the recurrence is distant, and therefore, not curable.Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930631057044153073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068743626565397624.post-41890644424593162082017-04-21T11:56:54.043-07:002017-04-21T11:56:54.043-07:00I would think that positive margins would add poin...I would think that positive margins would add points? Negative margins indicate that the cancer was more contained.

You are right that there are many options for the newly diagnosed patient, and the onus falls upon us to go seek out those alternatives.Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930631057044153073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068743626565397624.post-27450123346800910602016-08-25T18:08:55.253-07:002016-08-25T18:08:55.253-07:00Interesting data.

When I put my data in, I was surprised that recurrence was such a high possibility. I am a 75 year old man who is 10 years past DaVinci Radical prostectatomy. What I have learned is that surgery is not the solution. Maybe urologist need to get out of the marketplace and let various forms of radiation do the job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
