Interesting paper summarising state of art (2022) for ADT
The paper below gives a useful summary of the history and state of the art (2022) for ADT. No mention of BAT though. A few snippets from the paper are given below. Evolution of Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) and Its New Emerging Modalities in Prostate Cancer: An Update for Practicing Urologists

PSA Rising While on ADT and Abiraterone
I started Abiraterone in November 2022 and my PSA was 3.83. Over the last few months it dropped to 2.71, 2.50 and then 3.02 and now 3.28. Does this mean I am not responding to the Abiraterone any longer. I have only been on it for 3.5 months. Am I doing something that is interfering with the drug.

Hi, Looking for some communal input from this knowledgeable forum. First, some bullet point history to help fine tune the responses: • I was diagnosed with advanced stage, mPC in mid-2020. I have a rare type of PC that does not exhibit elevated PSA. It’s very aggressive and difficult to treat. My PSA

Choose Capivasertib or 177Lu-PSMA-617 clinical trial or stick with ADT + radiation?
Hi Folks, My PSA is up to 49 from 24 last summer. After bone scan, CT scan indicated 3 sites of mets (2 on pelvis, 1 on L5, overall “low volume”). Otherwise feeling great, working out most days. 58. I was finally able to get in this month to see a Medical Oncologist. Starting on ADT next week. Meeting

what is the role of a MO?
When does a MO get added to the team and who adds them (self refer, RO, other?)? Generally speaking I mean. I’ve had RP, recurrence, ADT, salvage radiation. No one has ever referenced involvement by MO at any stage and RO seems to suggest he’ll handle it all if PSA rises. Is MO a “last ditch” team

Greetings!....My scan results came in on Friday but doctor didn't call with details yet so I'll be calling him on Monday. In the meantime, wondering if I could get some of your opinions.

New to this or any other forum. Recently diagnosed with recurrent PC. Have questions regarding RT.
In 2014 at the age of 53 I underwent surgery for PC. Was a gleason 8 with extracapsular extension. Fast forward 9 years and I recently found out I had recurrent PC. Noticed PSA rising in August of 22 when PSA was 0.20. In January of 23 it rose to 0.34. Urologist has scheduled a special PET scan for

Enthesitis and Psoriatic Arthritis
I’m interested to hear from anyone who suffers from enthesitis with PsA? Does this condition cause the joints to swell? Does it raise the ESR/CCP markers for inflammation?

Do CRPC cancer cells always or usually act different then CSPC cancer cells, or do they sometimes act similar to CRPC?
If someone is castration sensitive (on ADT pause) and their psa is 40 (for example), and they show very little suspected cancer (5mm spot for example) on a PSMA PET scan or an Axumin scan, then is it likely that castration resistant cancer show very little (5mm), as well, on a PSMA PET or Axumin scan

Results are in (Update 2/17/23)
So recurrent after radiation and 2 years ADT. PSA pretty close to 3 by now. Bone and CT scan done because my cheap insurance company denied the Pylarify until after the other 2. I don't mind the extra contrasts, barium or whatever hell else they gave me. I keep asking is it nuclear. Only the bone scan

PSMA PET/CT scan: 18F vs. 68Ga
My post-RP BCR has creeped up to 0.56, so after discussing this with my oncologist, I decided to get a PSMA PET/CT scan before deciding on a treatment plan. My local radiology center uses the Pylarify (18F PSMA-DCFPyL) tracer, but I'm thinking I might get a better result with the newer Illuccix (68Ga

Rising PSA after radiation and ADT
Hi All, I was diagnosed with PCa in April 2022 (Gleason 3+4). My PSA was 28. I was given a 3 month shot of lupron in June 2022. In August I had 20 sessions of IGRT - Image guided radiation therapy. These are PSA levels: 0.56 (Sept 2, 2022) 1.6 (Dec 27, 2022) 5.3 (Feb 14, 2023) Should I be concerned
