Prostate radiation in non-metastatic castrate refractory prostate cancer provides an interesting insight into biology of prostate cancer.

The article focuses on a study on the use of prostate radiation for the treatment of non-metastatic castrate refractory prostate cancer. The study involved a review of 13 patients with prostate cancer who were initially treated with hormone monotherapy and then with prostate radiation. The study demonstrated the beneficial effects of prostate radiation in patients with potential micrometastatic disease, supporting the importance of primary tumour in the progression of prostate cancer.
