Tapeworm medication

[Lousantoro]

Following SBRT ( Cyberknife ) failure to eradicate my PSMA identified tumor, I have been taking Casodex. After 5 days of intense radiation, two PSA taken at the two week mark than 90 day. At the 90 day when the best outcome in projected- did not happen, PSA elevated to 2.4. I was placed on Casodex, and now it was suggested I take tapeworm medication along with Casodex. That seemed too odd, so I have not started that yet. Has anyone in this community heard of that medication used in our defense with Prostate Cancer.

I guess your Doctor is considering anti tapeworm medication called NICLOSAMIDE. This med is prolong the effectiveness of Bicalutamide and delays resistance. It is very difficult to get in USA. Below is a paper about Niclosamide and bicalutamide combination..

I've bought boxes of it for cats. It's the same stuff. I've never had to use it though. Lupron and Xtandi are still working.

Info so far is that it doesn't work.

But some have tried to reformulate it for better absorption:

There is a clinical trial at UCDavis that should have some results soon:
