[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 137926, member: 2624"] Determining mode of treatment in advance is a singularly difficult, if not impossible, question to answer. Gleason score, grade, comorbidities, age at time of diagnosis, lifestyle considerations - all go into the equation. On top of that, there is no gland in the male body which, when it turns cancerous, presents with the ambiguities that the prostate does. Those ambiguities begin with the fundamental question of diagnosis. Wrapped in the statistically dizzying world of the PSA test, diagnosis, and all associated with it - such as the pivotal decision to biopsy - are fraught with either/or choices (and whipped by a lot of rhetoric). Nelson and I were discussing the question of treatment and second opinions recently. If either of us were in need of a surgeon for treatment or a second opinion, we'd turn to Dr. Mohit Khera at Houston's Baylor College of Medicine. The guy is impressive in skill, knowledge, and humanity. In fact, I'm planning to see him in April for a perplexing PSA issue. I will fly from Toronto - and don't resent the price of travel or his fee. A classmate from my undergraduate days practices urology in Atlanta. He told me Dr. Khera would be his choice if he needed treatment. [/QUOTE]
