Why is oncologist not concerned about liver lesion?
So my husband has prostate cancer with mets to the bone, diagnosed 2 years ago, and he just had a CT scan done. They detected a lesion in his liver that was not there before. But the oncologist didn't even mention it? Can they tell it's not from the prostate cancer just from a CT scan?

PSA vs Testosterone plot has large scatter, but still confirms Morgentaler's Saturation Model.
Here are two plots comparing PSA values to Testosterone levels taken from a pair of large data sets. What is striking is the large amount of scatter in the individual data from both datasets, with factors of 2-6 X deviations from the average (or median) values. The upper plot has N = 255 data points

radiation damage to the bladder
my husband has had 4 rather benign treatments of Pluvicto at the recommended 6 week intervals. Treatment #5 is Schilz’s in about 10 days. All of a sudden he is having hematuria and bladder spasms. Can anyone tell me what kinds of treatments are used for radiation burns or irritation to the bladder? Thanks

Abiraterone and Breathlessness
After around 7 months on Abiraterone, I developed high blood pressure and quite bad irregular heartbeats. My Oncologist took me off Abiraterone immediately, and I was subsequently diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation. After seeing a Cardiology Consultant, I was prescribed Bisoporol and started back on

Spam me with any stories of hope or guidance for my Dad - Gleason 10, bone mets in spine
Hello, I recently shared that my Dad was diagnosed with aggressive Gleason 10 prostate cancer. CT and bone scan confirmed this week he has bone mets in his spine (within L5 vertebrae). This is very shocking and heartbreaking to our family - his only symptom was more frequent urination - he does not

Psma-pet scan results
PCa Warriors: I am on Active Surveillance(AS )with one core GL6 at 10%. I am part of a clinical trial that uses PSMA-pet scan to track progression. I guess the goal is to catch progression early and maybe avoid biopsies. The results are given below. Two things grabbed my attention from the report.

The Existence of the Oligometastatic State in Prostate Cancer (and other cancers)
Members of the FPC Forum: I submit to you that either I am a Prophet/Visionary, or I am a Fool, but I state clearly... and emphatically...that the oligometastatic state exists in Prostate Cancer and other cancers as well..I believe that if we were to sum it up as an equation, that it would be something

Relugolix/Orgovyx or Enzalutamide/Xtandi?
Good morning, all. I have updated my profile with my husband's history. But, long story short, he has been on ADT vacation for 13 months following succesful treatment of metastatic disease with Triplet Therapy (six rounds of Docetaxel, Lupron, and first Abieraterone plus Prednisone and then he switched

Radio Frequency oral therapy for liver cancer
New FDA approved home therapy for liver growths; small antenna that is kept in the mouth for 1 hour daily. The science is radio frequencies that interact with cancer cells and keep them controlled.

LORIS AI predicts patient outcomes with immune checkpoint blockade therapy

CTC circulating tumor cell count
I haven’t seen too much mention of CTC tests when PSA rises. Some rises at very low levels are not clearly correlated or confirmed by PET scans. So why isn’t CTC used, too expensive, inaccurate, most men lack a baseline test? Just curious if anyone tests this and what their experience has been

SeHCAT scan - eeek!
Got my letter through to book the SeHCAT scan. I'm just freaked out by having to go to the same clinic that caused me so much distress during colonoscopies/endoscopies. I know this won't hurt and logically I don't need to worry but I can't help it.🙄
