PSA: How low should it go?

[Vasili]

Dear Dr. PROF MERIC SENGOZ, how are you. I hope you are well.

It turns out that the radiotherapy you performed was very successful. Thanks a lot. When I come to Turkey I will thank you properly.

My last measured test level PSA 0.007. Is this a pretty good result? And radiotherapy still works and can further reduce PSA. Now I take an eligard which also lowers the PSA. I have an idea to start taking Casodex 150 for a double blockade. My goal is to lower uPSA further and reach a level of uPSA <0.003 where the cancer appears to disappear, as stated in a study by John Hopkins Medicine -

“If your PSA level is less than 0.003 ng / ml, you could be sure that all your cancer has been removed. On the other hand, if your PSA level is greater than 0.003 ng / ml, you might choose to be monitored more closely for PSA recurrence in the immediate years ”- hopkinsmedicine.org/brady-u...

Although this refers to after surgery, not after radiation, I think it essentially reflects the presence or absence of cancer cells. So by analogy. I hope with double blockade and the effect of radiation, to reach uPSA <0.003 in the hope that this will be the treatment for my lymph nodes. This has not been proven, but there is no other treatment. Could this be true?

Thanks for the well-conducted irradiation.

study by John Hopkins Medicine , shows that with a PSA 0.003 there will be no recurrence. - “If your PSA level is less than 0.003 ng / ml, you could be sure that all your cancer has been removed. On the other hand, if your PSA level is greater than 0.003 ng / ml, you might choose to be monitored more closely for PSA recurrence in the immediate years ” - PSA: How low should it go?

PSA confuses me are you talking minus 1 when you say 0.003?

My psa is 3.11 it still is falling and I'm on nothing just double castration. Coming off chemo going into radiation.

You are doing very well.. with this disease, if you had an extension beyond the prostate capsule, then one can never be 100% sure because of senescent cells...You are doing your best...Good luck and I hope you escape the Beast...
