Top doc's top story - STAMPEDE

[AlanMeyer]

Here's a note from Alan W. Partin, MD, PhD, Chief Urologist and Director of the Department of Urology at Johns Hopkins. He's a famous research scientist known for the Partin Tables among other things. He thinks the STAMPEDE trial that showed the superiority of ADT (e.g., Lupron) + abiraterone (Zytiga) over ADT alone is the top story in prostate cancer for 2017.

Since I am on this protocol, I obviously agree with the doctor.

Thank you Alan

[Dr_WHO]

Considering how many of us are now on Lupron and Zytiga I would agree.

Good luck!

Maybe showing your doc the note from (TA-DAAA) Alan Partin will help convince him.

Darned PSA went up, now above 0.2, but made it easy to get Xtandi added to treatments..now wait and see what it does....

It is also my initial treatment I’m very thankful for the ability to have this drug at diagnosis. 👍

I started this as a clinical trial about 7 months ago along with a test medication (apalutimide). So far my PSA dropped from 18 to 0.6, my lymph nodes shrunk to normal size and no cancer cells identified in blood stream. I hope this works for a while!
