Issues: High systemic failure rate Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer: A clinical dilemma that has not gone away Issues: High systemic failure rate Poorly controlled by unimodality therapy Clearly a group at risk of dying from prostate cancer
Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer: A clinical dilemma that has not gone away What we know: Multimodality therapy is the standard of care for these patients Surgery/adjuvant radiotherapy EBRT/ADT Neoadjuvant hormonal therapy prior to RRP- NOPE
Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer: A clinical dilemma that has not gone away What we dont know: Is adjuvant and salvage radiotherapy equal? Does brachytherapy/ADT = EBRT/ADT Is there a role for perioperative systemic therapy i.e. does earlier use of docetaxel improve outcomes

Challenges in Managing Patients with PSA only Disease Moving the patient ( and some of his docs) away from a curative mind set Recognition of limitations of therapy “really early ADT” Using PSA DT to inform timing of evaluation/intervention
