cure was: 60/40 towards surgery

[Guest guest]

Curious. I hear quoted a 30% recurrence

rate with surgery frequently. How many years before you get this percentage? 5

years? 10 years? 20 years? What happens to the other 70%. Are they considered

cured? Even if they die of something else does that mean they were cured of

their PCa? Does anyone know of a study on younger men and recurrence? Also I

think I remember reading a study a while ago that the longer there is no

recurrence, the less likely you are to have a recurrence?

If men are considering surgery then this

is information that might help them make a decision pro or con surgery.
