Pinostilbene inhibits the Enz-resistant CRPC cell line by inhibiting AR variant 7
i take pterostilbene daily which pinostilbene is a metabolite of pterostilbene. in any event if you are failing on enzalutamide or any PCa warrior you probably should take pterostilbene. Below is a 2023 in-depth article https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10550987/ Pinostilbene inhibits

My MO suspects that I am non-metastatic, castration resistant but will not approve any treatment until metastases develop.
Gleason 9 at diagnosis, BRACA 2 germline and somatic. RP five years ago but cancer escaped the capsule; PSA of around 2.5 after surgery. Had radiation to pelvic area a few months later along with Eligard injection. Renewed Eligard after 3 months and PSA went down to undetectable. T was close to zero

Maybe because of "careful" patient selection, but still great: PSA Undetectable in First Patient Cu-67 SAR-bisPSMA
Positive results for mCRPC, very positive. Sorry if I have already posted this (my mind is not so sharp lately...was it ever??). "The first patient with prostate cancer dosed with 2 cycles of 8GBq of 67Cu-SAR-bisPSMA has reached undetectable prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels using PET" https:/

fast-rising PSA
I’m in the control group for the new Lutetium-177–PSMA-617 study re: use of Lutetium in the early stages of treatment for metastatic disease, pre-chemo. I was diagnosed 3/23 - high volume/high risk, and have been on Firmagon and Abiraterone plus pred. In Sept my PSA started to rise, with testosterone

Dumb Question about rising PSA after initial RT.
If you still have a prostate after RT treatment 7 years ago ( NO ADT), could a slowly rising PSA just be 'natural' as you age? Have always been curious, as when initial biopsy was ordered, the doctor said, "if you were a few months older (70), your PSA level would not have prompted further investigation

How to monitor PCa after you stop ADT?
I've been on Zoladex implants for coming up to 4 years in February. I plan to stop ADT next time when it's due, as my PSA is always "undetectable" and it's been 4 years of physical and mental torment for me (the side effects). I think that enough is enough now. Does anyone have advice on the best ways
