Salvage treatment

[Paulo1968]

Hi everyone,

After another pet scan and discussions with oncologist and a radiologist, I have started salvage radiation treatment 2 weeks ago and have 5 more to go.

The pet scan was clear now but PSA has been smoothly steady rising since April 2020 after 2 years of undetected PSA.

Anyone knows the prognosis for such a treatment?

Thanks, Paulo

Around 60% probability of success. Gleason 8 and no ADT are the drivers of the less successful treatment.

Best of luck Paulo. Fingers crossed for you.
