Wondering which arm of STAMPEDE dictated my 18 to 16 month ADT plus Zytiga treatment plan ?

Taking Avodart for ten years and doing many lifestyle changes per Snuffy Meyers kept my PSA low for a decade but when I stopped Avodart for a month 3 years ago PSA began to rise .

Dutasteride and Apalutamide

Is there any support for taking Avodart with Apalutamide to extend castrate sensitivity? I have been on Lupron/Apalutamide for >2 years now. Are there any studies that suggest Lu177 is effective in a castrate sensitive patient?

Avodart / Dutasteroid

We had a discussion about Avodart and he said he would consider a prescription if I could show him persuasive studies. The following 5 are the best I could find. Does anyone have a favorite study that helped them convince their MD to prescribe Avodart?

High intratumoral dihydrotestosterone is associated with antiandrogen resistance in VCaP prostate cancer xenografts in castrated mice

However, from what I know, Avodart will inhibit the final step that results in DHT. How often is Enzalutamide [Xtandi] resistance due to intratumor DHT? I don't know, but Avodart is an inexpensive safety play.

After Active Surveillance since 2013, time to explore treatment options

PSA under Avodart had been running around 2.0 since 2014. Had a follow-up biopsy in 2014, 18 core, was negative, but received a severe infection, prostatitis from it. Almost went sepsis, because they had me on CIPRO, and the e-coli infection was resistant to fluoroquinolones.

Catheter

I know there are oral meds out there such as avodart. Anyways, when I got home after the scope, I was not able to urinate. I rushed myself to ER and they put a catheter. it's discomforting but I'll take it in emptying my bladder. God bless you all. Nick

Questions for 2nd Meeting with MO tomorrow about reaction to 2 months on Orgovyx and Zytiga

They said the size of my prostate even after 12 years of Avodart precludes me having brachytherapy. RO and MO said they can treat me with “ curative intent “ as shown in STAMPEDE trial.

Darolutamide & Simvastatin?

Another escape pathway is the manufacture of DHT (dihydrotestosterone) via the alternate pathway that does not require testosterone, Avodart will inhibit that.

Anyone taking a 5ARI (dutasteride/finasteride) with Abiraterone?

I haven't really seen anything on this since Patrick (pjoshea13) had written about it a few years ago: https://healthunlocked.com/advanced-prostate-cancer/posts/139885449/dutasteride-avodart-abiraterone-zytiga Has anyone discussed it with their docs? I plan to, later this week.

Impact of Dutasteride on PSA Kinetics and Time to Progression in Men with PSA-only Recurrent Prostate Cancer - medRxiv - pre-pub May 5, 2021

I know we have some members who will vouch for the effectiveness of Avodart in managing their own disease state.

No adverse effect from the covid vaccine to my PSA

FYI, apart from statins, Avodart and a long list of supplements I am not under any treatment.

5α-Reductase Inhibitors are Associated with Reduced Risk of SARS-COV-2 Infection

[1] Note: 5α-Reductase Inhibitors [5ARIs] - such as Dutasteride [Avodart] - inhibit the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone [DHT]. "SARS-CoV-2 has a disproportionately severe effect on men, suggesting that the androgen pathway plays a role in the disease.

TRUP vs. alternatives

Dutasteride (Avodart) and finasteride (Proscar) are two types of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. You’ll generally have to wait three to six months for symptom relief with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.

Eleven Years Updates. Starting EstroGel.

Again slow rise and I off and on used Avodart and Casadox during the last three years. Had two 68 GL PSMA in the last three years which came out negative. Now I am planning to start EstroGel therapy. Had been closely monitoring the progress of some of the esteemed members who are on this group.

Side effect comparisons: Adovart vs Lupron

I have not had Avodart but might consider it down the road. My main complaints about Lupron include: decreased metabolism leading to obesity, loss of muscle mass, loss of bone density, fatigue and lethargy.
