Now then children..are you settled comfortably???(sigh...)

Conclusion - (this time) ... take it early.

Short extract:....
"This study may provide additional scientific rationale to support the
recent trend that giving hormone treatment early on is better than
waiting," Reiter said. "Early hormone treatment in this group of men
might allow them to live longer. High levels of androgen receptor in
the primary tumor might also predict which cancers are more likely to
spread despite initial surgery or radiation."

This strategy could be particularly effective in high risk men, those
with large primary tumors, high Gleason scores and those that have
lymph node involvement at diagnosis." .....

Best wishes to all.
