The Treatment Plan

First Jack will have an MRI to see if the the cancer has broken through the capsule and invaded the pelvic lymph nodes. MRIs can show information about soft tissue, unlike the bone scan he had last week.
Then he will have hormone therapy for 8 weeks, followed by 7 weeks of daily radiation. Hormone therapy really means "knock out testosterone" using two antagonist drugs. Testosterone feeds the cancer, so without it, the tumor shrinks and the cancer cells die.

This protocol is overseen by Steven Hancock, M.D. (below) and his resident David Schultz, M.D., Ph.D.
