Can PSMA-PET scan be used off label?
I have a friend who has had multiple MRIs and biopsies to locate his presumed prostate cancer. His PSA is high, around 20 but fluctuates and this has gone on for a number of years. He had antibiotic therapy but this did not make any difference. I was wondering if a doctor would prescribe a PET/ PSMA

"Undetectable"
We hear the term of "undetectable" with a psa of < .1 used so often. When I was first diagnosed and had an RALP I bought into the use of this theory. As the months clicked by and I was "undetectable" I was slowly gaining confidence and reassurance that this was true. Eight months later a .1 shattered

My discussion with chatGPT about senescence in PC induced by radiation and chemotherapy.
Q. Can adt cause senescence? A. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) primarily aims to reduce or block male hormones like testosterone that fuel prostate cancer growth. While ADT can significantly shrink tumors and lead to remission in many cases, it does not directly cause cellular senescence. However

What clinic trials have been successful?
My husband's next oncologist appointment is tomorrow. PSA is at 74. It has been a roller coaster ride since March 2017. Prostate removed with many complications in hospital. Was there for 2 weeks, which should have been 2 days. Was weak for several months after. Follow up appointment 3 months later

Comparing PSA Response With Apalutamide vs Enzalutamide in mCSPC
Treatment with apalutamide (Erleada) induced a deeper and earlier prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response compared with enzalutamide (Xtandi) in androgen receptor synthesis inhibitor-naive patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC), according to findings from a real-world

Too Many Black Men Dying From Prostate Cancer
No matter what you think about OJ Simpson, you all must agree that too many Black men are dying from prostate cancer. Prostate cancer kills Black men at over 2.4 times the rate that it kills White men. If you want to do something, even if you only have 30 seconds a year and no money to donate, sign

Intravenous C
I was reading this short report (our BAT friends are involved) thinking it showed real promise for C, then in conclusion they say no. Agreed the p values are high, the CIs are wide, but the results were so lopsided that to me it merely means the trial was underpowered and C is worth a try. High-Dose

Positive case studies
Literature trawl - copy the text and paste into Google search to find papers. This is just the best bits. Jo 9 yearWe present a case of a patient with castration-resistant prostate cancer with proven bone lesions 2 years after the onset of the disease and the current survival of over 9 years. In 2013

PSA after one month on lupron
I am 63 with high risk PCa. I was diagnosed with PSA of 30 and Gleason 9 in December. Biopsy and MRI showed all 12 cores malignant with "likelihood of extra-capsular extension". PSMA PET scan showed no mets as of December 15. I began treatment on February 26 with a week of Casodex followed by a Lupron

Doublet Therapy for Metastatic Prostate Cancer
Hi all - Curious if anyone here was prescribed doublet therapy for metastatic prostate cancer? My dad, 73 (Initial PSA 151, Gleason 9, 4 small mets to pelvis, spine, tailbone) had an appointment today, and his MO indicated that he would like to proceed with doublet therapy. I wasn't aware he would

Cancer takes another brave man
My wonderful husband passed away yesterday after fighting the beast for 15 years. Gleason 8 all but one core positive. He was so strong tried so hard, 2 clinical trials radiation, Zytiga, Xofigo, lupron for the entire time. Finally at age 65 his body could take no more, he lost over 40 pounds, no energy

Autovaccination seems a hot topic lately: Mt. Sinai autovaccination technique to turn cold prostate cancer hot (Phase 1)
ok, I am exposing myself to j-o-h-n in more than one way with that title... This is for regional leagues (locally advanced PCa), while we are the NFL of prostate cancer here, but the fact that a cold cancer was turned hot is very promising as it has always been the main limit of immuno therapies applied
