I think we knew this - PSMA-Pet superior to MRI
PSMA PET Beats MRI in Prostate Cancer Staging Study https://www.medpagetoday.com/hematologyoncology/prostatecancer/110931 The article is basically about using PSMA-PET to plan surgical procedures more accurately, but the study has a secondary result in - that PSMA-PET found a very significant percentage

Free Genetic Testing Promise Trial
When I was diagnosed with this cancer and looked into this forum for guidance the topic of genetic testing and its potential applications sounded like something I should investigate since I had no info on my biological father’s medical history and my mom died of cervical cancer. My local urologist wanted

Tough decision
I've been on AS for 5 years with Moffit had 3 biopsy's all gleason 6 except a second opinion on my first one 2 cores where changed to a 7. PSA has bounced around but highest was 6.43 this April last week 5.13. Because of my recent MRI shows growth on the lesion and possible extracasular extension. So

LVV Update
Hello, just getting back with the latest on what appears to be a huge LVV flare. Had the PET Scan on Thursday and doc called yesterday. I have the scan but can’t really read it other than to see that there is no “hyper metabolic intra cranial lesion” or “FDG avid cervical or supraclavicular lymphadenopathy

CAR T-Cell Therapy Demonstrates Promising Results for mCRPC
A total of 14 patients were treated between August 2019 and July 2022. The median patient age was 62 in dose level 1 (DL1), 70 for dose level 2 (DL2), and 69 for dose level 3 (DL3). The baseline prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ranged from 16.5 ng/mL to 235.3 ng/mL. Primary end points were safety and

Newly diagnosed with HCC
I am a 78 year old retired educator who has battled GIST CANCER for 20 years. To my surprise, An HCC tumor was found in my liver in between two GIST tumors. in my June 5 MRI. The GIST tumors were shrinking out of site thanks to be taking Gleevec, a targeted therapy drug. My surgeon could not safely resect

A Secondary Primary Malignancy hit me
The doctors tell us that you don't die from CLL; you die with CLL. What they don't tell you very often is that even though it isn't the CLL that gets you, it could very well be a secondary primary malignancy caused by the CLL that does it. Bennevisplace wrote on this a few months ago; i.e. the fact

Tomorrow is finally the day of my MRI after waiting 3 1/2 months since the ultrasound and CT scan couldn't be sure of a mass or not.
After having to postpone my original MRI appt last month due to the death of my mother, I am finally getting it done tomorrow. Those who haven't read my previous posts, a fibroid and possible ovarian mass were found on an incidental CT scan back in March where I was diagnosed with diverticulitis after

Guided bacteria, 100% effective in preclinical trials
well, I am citing... "With a 100% remission rate and no meaningful side effects in all the subjects of the company's preclinical trials, this technology is conceived to address all solid tumors, representing 90% of cancer and 89% of deaths." Even 50% of that result in humans would be amazing! https

Very promising: PIP Polyspecific Integrin-Binding Peptide, a novel and very flexible platform
Basically, they have developed a technology that can simultaneously bind to different "proteins" expressed by cancers. This means a wider specificity. One cancer mutation could express for example KRAS 12C and another KRAS 12D (just an example using terms and mutation I know!) and the chemo drug would

Consider the options?
Post total hysterectomy, etc., one cycle of carboplatin (couldn't tolerate paclitaxel) and now on Avastin i/v and Olaparib. CA 9, which is fantastic. Side effects are just destroying me. I am 80, the Olaparib goes through to mid June 2026 and the Avastin finishes at the end of this year. Oncologist

slight CEA Elevation
hi everyone- my father has MBC and is currently on Lynparza / Olaparib to target the BRCA2 gene mutation. He has been on it for 9 months and had a scan that showed complete control over his breast cancer on May 21st (not too long ago at all). The only thing that “lit up” on the scan was his Prostate

Be careful: Pluvicto controversy, dammit!
not saying that it does not work, in fact for some patients it is simply fantastic, but still...they have damaged their reputation with patients https://www.nature.com/articles/s44276-024-00065-7 The PSMAfore and VISION trials for Lutetium-177 PSMA-617 in prostate cancer exhibit design flaws that bias

The party is over …
Hi Everyone, Well, that dripping tap must have got me, finally!! No symptoms but a routine Rheumy appt preceded by the usual blood tests revealed that my CRP is over 100 😱 and my ESR is 80 something. But I feel no pain, except for the usual little niggles that I thought came with being nearly 70.

MRI report shows enhancing bone lesion is noted involving the left sphenoid bone.
That’s from an MRI taken six weeks after 10 sessions of IMRT were completed for a surgically inoperable metastasis in my skull. Apparently this means the contrast agent shows increased blood flow or activity in the tumor. Does that sound normal to still have increased blood flow or activity six weeks
