Secondary Cancer?

[donnacgorman]

Husband diagnosed G9, 2004. IMRT, Brachytherapy, ADT, Provenge. Recently a mass near the ureter, 4.2cm was seen on a Ct scan. Needle biopsy; carcinoma w/squamous differential. Maybe a secondary cancer, possibly caused by excessive radiation. Getting a second review of slides. Anyone with comments or questions appreciated. I very anxious. PSA; 0.25Has been trending down since Provenge, 2018.

1. Look into getting some blood tests. There are about three prostate cancer specific ones. One is called called color something or other.

Other people here should know their exact names.

2. Please keep us apprised of your progress.

There is the color hereditary cancer risk blood test and the Lab Guardiant 360 blood test

It could be an urothelial carcinoma perhaps coming from the ureter/bladder or prostate cancer with squamous differentiation. Squamous cell carcinoma of the prostate is a rare entity, representing less than 1% of all prostate carcinomas.

Thanks for the link however depressing. Dr. Drake at New York Presbyterian is reviewing biopsy and scans to determine origin. Thanks for your input.

I'm sorry to hear that. Are their any clinical trials?

Husband of 53 years closed his eyes for the last time September 18th. He fought 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 cancer at every turn for 16years only to succumb to urothelial cancer and a blood clot. It was considered a secondary cancer that was thought to be caused by excessive radiation.

My heart is broken.💔💔💕Eyden1
