Is it PSA recurrence or not...
My friend had a radical prostatectomy a year ago. Since then his monthly PSA results were stable, at 0.006 3 months ago his PSA went from 0.006 to 0.012, then the next month to 0.029. His MO wanted to see the third month's results in order to consider salvage radiation therapy. Luckily, third month's

Mortality Probability after first PSA rise vs non-castrate testosterone levels (low vs Normal)
Here's a plot from Atkins (2018) that shows the Percent risk of Prostate Cancer-specific Mortality versus time following a first PSA failure, for two different non-castrate testosterone levels (Low-T and Normal-T). The low testosterone levels are: median = 162, range = 120-236 ng/dL. Normal T is 400

PSA Score Doubling / Lab Error?
Hey folks I was diagnosed back in 2017 with 3+3, later upgraded to 3+4, but with less then 5% of G4. Epstein reviewed and said he would go against Johns Hopkins policy to automatically treat ANY amount of G4 and stick with AS, at least in my situation. Before and since my diagnosis, my PSA score has

PSA reduction after Estrogen Patch Therapy
Here's a revised plot of PSA reduction due to castration from Estrogen Patch therapy. The previous version had the wrong time scale. That has been corrected in this version. The total time is 3 months, after which the PSA and testosterone both flatten out versus time. I've also added the reference

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. ER7, PGR4, HER2 neg (and NPI 3.44 what ever this is).
I discovered a lump on Christmas Day, was seen at the hospital on the 10th of January. January 23rd the lump was removed along with 4 lymph nodes. My question is I am on Anastrazole 1mg , Levothyroxine 25mg (thyroid decided to pack in) and Atorovastatin 40mg. Can I take any of these pills at the same

PSA drop with decreasing Testosterone after Estrogen Patch Therapy
Here's a plot that I made from data taken from the PATCH estrogen patch therapy study. It plots the % reduction in PSA from baseline (100%) at time = 0 as a function of testosterone levels over a period of 4 weeks. As you know, estrogen effectively castrates men, causing a drop in testosterone over

PSA spiked from .6 to 8.0 in 3 months
The blood test corroborates the MRI that shows spread. I am talking with Dr Goodman in the AM. Am I doomed? My PSA has never been 8. before

At the crossroads (again)
My profile is up to date, but, briefly, have failed chemo, ADT (am castrate resistant), failed Keytruda and now Pluvicto. Scans yest. & today show progression along with PSA rise. All my mets are in bone. So, my SOC choices are cabazataxel or radium 223. Other options are trial, which are a crapshoot
