J.R.R. Tolkien. George Lucas. Steven Spielberg. With such seminal trilogies as Star Wars, the Lord of the Rings and Indiana Jones achieving a permanent place in the psyche of everyday life, who would have thought there would be room for more? But fear not, because Michael and Josh are here with their take on the age-old formula, with the first in a trilogy of episodes on prostate cancer. Just as Luke Skywalker discovered his heritage and embarked on an epic quest against the Empire, so too do our heroes take their first steps in a fight of their own, examining two studies that pave the way for the future in hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC) treatment. Gone are the days of ADT-alone, fading to give way to a newer, brighter future, like the end of Tolkien's Third Age. In summary, one may say of the old vogue of HSPC treatments: "It belongs in a museum!"

Have we mentioned that we are MASSIVE nerds recently?
