Testosterone and PCa risk - 3
Here's a plot showing the Odds Ratio for having either Intermediate Risk PCa or high-risk PCa, as a function of baseline testosterone levels. The Odds Ratio tells the likelihood of getting PCa, compared to a reference value of 1. So, for example, for the lower plot (high risk), a testosterone level

Testosterone and PCa risk - 2
This plot shows a Kaplan-Mier Prostate Cancer Mortality Survival plot for three different levels of baseline testosterone: Low-T, IntermediateT, and Normal-T. The best survival is for men with Normal testosterone levels at baseline, and the worst survival is for men with low-T. REF: www.spandidos-publications.com

Testosterone Levels and Prostate Cancer Risk - 1
This plot shows the association of baseline testosterone levels with PCa aggressiveness. For example, if you have low aggressive PCA, your testosterone is likely to be Normal. But, if you have metastatic PCa, your testosterone is likely to be very Low. This shows that having normal testosterone

Castrate levels of Testosterone
My husband's testosterone level is 3nmol/L (86.5 ng/100ml). In the past year, his levels have ranged between 2-8 nmol/L. He's on quarterly Zoladex. I understand that castrate levels are ideally < 20 ng/100ml. If I understand correctly, his testosterone should be much lower. Can anyone please shed

Stage 4, GL 9 seeking advice
After 10 months without pain, I'm starting to have pain in my back. Orgovyx and Zytiga have appeared to keep the cancer relatively quiet until now. Next month I turn 87. I'm quite healthy, apart from Prostate cancer. I have no illusions about a cure but would like to have as many QOL days as possible

Next step
Just finished up with chemo. Went from 139 psa @ dx to 1.66. I didn't make it to the non detectable team. Not sure what to think as many here with higher psa's have gone down lower. I'm currently still on Orgovyx and Nubeqa. Should I ask for more rounds of chemo as I've done 6 ? Will my PSA possibly

rash reaction to Xtandi
I was taking Xtandi and developed a rash in a few places. my oncologist insisted on getting me off of this medication.. I went to the dermatologist and he explained that he has been able to help people stay on medication even if they develop a rash. The dermatologist did a biopsy and contacted the oncologist

Casodex(tablet) Vs lupron(injection)
Hi allCasodex (bicalutamide) 57% for driving down PSA Lupron 87% BUT........ maybe for an individual would it be worth trying to see if casodex tablets worked better for driving down PSA instead of the lupron injection????

Stage 4 A Prostate cancer

xtandi beginning to fail?
Seven months ago my PSA was 0.06. Three months ago PSA at my URO’s office was 0.11. I asked him if xtandi was beginning to fail me, he would not give me a answer. March 11th PSA at my MO’s office PSA was < 0.1. MO was happy with that number. I get checked again the 25th of this month at my URO. I

Silly Questions??
1) Why do some advanced prostate cancer patients get offered "vacations", from ADT and others don't? 2) Why do some advanced prostate cancer patients have NO Chemo, and go directly to ADT + Abiraterone+Prednisone, while others begin treatment with chemo and radiation? What are the deciding criteria

PSA, total
Hello. I know this forum is about advanced prostate cancer. I’m really hoping I’m not there yet. I had a RP June 2023 I just got the results from my forth PSA test the first three were a post prostatectomy PSA test and all three were 0.02 this last one was a PSA, total. That’s what the Urologist wanted

PSA from .08 to 2.1, after 2yrs ADT with zytiga and RT @59 yr
so seems to be back and waiting on PSMA PER SCAN. From what I understand, they usually look for something and do a scavenge RT treatment. Anyone who’s gone through this did you have to go back on ADT because that just sucks.. I had high risk Gleason score 9 anybody deal with this? I’m sure. Let me know

A question about radiation resistance
Last week a post was made about Decipher showing high radiation resistance. My decipher showed the same. Quick question. If you have had SBRT and it hasn't deliver a “killing dose” to tumor, is brachytherapy a follow up option? My PSA showed rise after SBRT, (from 8.6 to 12) Ro and Mo attributed

1 year on - no PSA but tumor has "progressed"

Hi! We’re beginning to research facilities for second opinions, next step guidance to supplement what we’re learning from our local doctor. My husband is BRCA2 positive, had a prostatectomy, salvage radiation and now his PSA is starting to creep back up. I know it’s too early to take additional treatment
