What is the life expectency of prostrate cancer patient with metastasis. orchiechtomy is done and in last 3 months the psa went down from <100 to 21?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly years.: The lower the psa gets, the better. Ultimately, orchiectomy will fail. There are multiple new agents available to treat metyastatic prostate cancer which may help the patient for a long time.
