Yana Updates

[Guest guest]

Thought you might be

interested that there are over 780 stories on site now, most of them ‘live’

with updates within the last 18 months. Last time I checked, the relevant

numbers were:

RALP (Robotic Assisted

Laparoscopic Surgery)- 249 (33%)

Surgery – 184 (24%)

ADT (Androgen

Deprivation Therapy) – 90 (12%)

EBRT (External Beam Radiation Treatment)

- 57 (8%)

Active Surveillance - 54 (7%)

Proton Beam – 48 –

(6%)

Brachytherapy - 37 –

(5%)

HIFU (17) – (2%)

Undecided – 16 (2%)

Cryotherapy - 5 (1%)

Not too many entries

this week. I have a feeling that there was something amiss on the Internet

generally over the past 10 days because mail was down all around, so if anyone

sent in an update or story and it hasn’t been uploaded yet, please re-send

because that would mean I didn’t receive it
