Has anyone knowledge if...
I have been considering trying 'Theraworx' for nocturnal leg cramps; it has many ingredients including vita. E though the E should be a small amount. Does anyone have any real knowledge if this product would effect PSA levels, or have any effect on the PCa...thank you

We could tell in advance if enzalutamide works on a patient: computational biology
hopefully it will be clinically tested soon ”For the study in Nature Communications, Mitrofanova's team developed computational algorithms to discover why the prostate cancer drug enzalutamide (sold under the brand name Xtandi) never works for some patients and why it eventually stops working in others

Low Testosterone and value of continuing Hormone Therapy
83 year old male with a question: My understanding is that the role of hormone therapy is to lower one’s testosterone level. Does hormone therapy provide additional benefits in fighting prostate cancer beyond lowering testosterone levels? I was diagnosed with high grade prostate cancer (Gleason 10

DCIS Diagnosis in 2023
Hi everyone, I had a routine mammogram in March 2023 and I was so confident that it was going to be fine, that I forgot about it by the end of the same day. I was shocked to get a phone call 10 later to tell me that they had found a mass in my left breast. I remember telling female friends about it

Bicalutamide Vs Eligard

Abiraterone + Prednisone with Preexisting CAD
On November 1, 2023 a PET scan established that my metastatic prostate cancer is castrate resistance. I added Abiraterone + Prednisone to my 3 monthly Lupron shot. Same PET scan detected severe calcification in multiple coronary arteries, which was confirmed by heart CT scan and angiogram. I have severe

HoLEP for BPH followed by SBRT several months later for 4+3 = 7 PCa. Is it preferable to do the HoLEP before the SBRT?
Diagnosed with BPH (80 cc prostate) and prostate cancer - Gleason 4+3 in 2 cores - less than 30%, 3+3 in 2 cores, benign in 8 cores. Stage T1c. PSMA-Pet no metastasis. PSA 8.8. Decipher 0.51. PSA density 0.11. Having HoLEP in May 2024 then SBRT several months later.

covid vaccine & prostate cancer
Any concerns/studies re covid vaccines bringing prostate cancer back? No politics just want to know if there are any reasons to be concerned.

Dental Issues with Finesteride
I am 7 years post full gland HIFU surgery. Quality of life remains good. I've been off ADT all this time. PSA has been slowly rising and hit 2.8. My urologist put me on finesteride. It prevents the conversion of T to DHT. Five weeks after starting on it I experienced an onslaught of dental problems.

I started a Zytiga holiday yesterday. Still on Lupron for now. How long should I keep taking prednisone? I know Zytiga clears out pretty fast.

Second Recurrence
I was originally diagnosed in December 2018 with stage 3 high-grade primary peritoneal carcinoma. It recurred in December 2022. I had the same chemo both times: carbo/taxol. It appears that I have another recurrence because my CA 125 was 8 this past November. Then, it rose to 22 in December and today

Flare
Thursday, my husband had his follow-up appointment with Oncologist. I was very alarmed at some of his blood test results. His PSA went up to 1600. Doctor said other blood work was to be expected. I researched surged in PSA and found this, The PSA flare is a well-known phenomenon. The post chemotherapy

Right phrenic nerve paralysis
Path from RP showed extensive perineural involvement. No other risk factors for phrenic nerve paralysis. Haven't talked to MO yet, but sure concerned it's tumor invasion. PSA still <0.04.
