Appendix cancer

A pelvic MRI was booked for the following month - I have yearly abdominal MRI surveillance due to Appendix Cancer in 2021. MRI report came back and it states the following - “Both ovaries demonstrate polycystic morphology.

Hello - I’m new to this site and hoping to get information and awareness from others who are on the same journey. I’ve been NED since HIPEC in May 2022 having previously had debulking surgery followed by Folfiri and immunotherapy. I understand there’s a strong prospect I will have a recurrence so I

My dad was diagnosed in Aug 2022 and we have been pretty lucky with his condition. He has been on Lupron shots and Erleada and his last PSA test was at .03 in October which is good. My concern is the last week he’s been really tired and is starting to get some pain again. My question is can things

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well. I wanted to post an update about my father's current situation. After PSA started to raise, the MO added Abiraterone 1000 mg. a day with 10 mg prednisolone to his treatment regimen with Zoladex (once every 3 month) and Zoledronic acid (once every month). Abiraterone

My PSA is rising quickly, and my anemia is getting very bad. The PC is crowding out the red blood cell bone marrow. I'm unable to take Xandi due to serious side effects and I doubt if it would do anything anyway. Orgovyx and Zytiga gave this 87-year-old about one year and six months so far. However,

Hey, Max73. You missed one . . . and one right up your AI alley! [i]Salcudean and Bashashati[/i][i]: "In general, AI tools learn from prior examples, so there can always be a question whether the results generalized correctly. Continuous re-training and improvement as we accumulate more data

I have just completed 8 of 12 biweekly treatments and have happily watched my PSA drop steadily from 15 to 0.33. The weakening effects of the chemo have dampened my enthusiasm for working out, even walking. I read that docetaxel is the second most toxic chemo and can't disagree. My question, though,

Would be so grateful for your help. When PMR hit in February 2023 thought I’d be off steroids in a couple weeks how foolish was I….. Prescribed Prednisolone 20mg February 2023 tapered to 10mg 3 weeks later, GP didn’t give instruction and I didn’t understand but it worked.. At some point was changed

another door opens, hopefully a good one… Researchers found that high expression of the PPP1CA gene is linked to a worse prognosis for patients. They discovered that silencing PPP1CA made cancer cells more susceptible to abiraterone, while overexpressing it had the opposite effect. This suggests that

The FDA has accepted a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for darolutamide (Nubeqa) in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for the treatment of patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). This sNDA is based on positive results from the phase 3 ARANOTE

Hello - I had another consultation on Nov 1 with Dr. Eugene Kwon at the Mayo Clinic. This was a few weeks after completing 18 weeks of chemo using taxetere plus carboplatin. A PSMA PET CT scan at the Mayo showed that the chemo reduced the prostate cancer in the abdomen, although PSA remains above

I met with my MO today after starting Docetaxel 3 weeks ago…first infusion. My PSA went from 0.33 to 1.13. She said that a flare like this often happens. Has anyone else experienced this and any idea why it happens? Thanks in advance.

The AMPLITUDE clinical trial (NCT04497844) is evaluating the effectiveness of Akeega, a combination of the PARP inhibitor niraparib and abiraterone acetate, along with prednisone, for treating metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). This combination therapy is being compared to the

I am a bit slow, I am in Poland for work so I have to carve in the time to post. Mevrometostat (PF-06821497) is an experimental drug being investigated in a Phase III trial (NCT06551324) called MEVPRO-1. This trial is for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have received

Hi all,I had RT about 2 years ago and have been having 3 monthly Lupron jabs. My PSA has been rising steadily from a low of 0.02 ug/l (May, 2024) to 0.04 ug/l (August, 2024) The result of my blood test today is 0.09 ug/l (Nov, 2024). My PSA seems to be doubling every 3 months. Is this cause

So I had a prostatectomy in 2021, I am now 57. Everything went back to normal....if you get my drift! I thought that this cancer diagnosis was behind me....it still is but I think something is looming ahead!! You see I have stuck religiously with 3 monthly PSA tests. When I first had my Prostatectomy
