Is My Urologist Telling Me the Truth About Prostate Biopsies, or is He "Painting a Rosy Picture" of them?
I have concerns about the discomfort and after-effects of a prostate biopsy scheduled soon. But my urologist seems to be saying [i]
"No worry. It'll only take 30-40 minutes and it'll be over so that you can return home. You'll have some soreness for a few days and you'll be okay."

Will Androgen-nourished Prostate Cancer Cells Succumb to "Glucose/Glutamine Starvation"?
If prostate cancer cells are enriched with androgens that normally propel their growth and spread, could they still be "starved" by selectively inhibiting their GLUT receptor expressions to block their uptake of glucose and also by limiting their ability to turn to and utilize glutamine as a backup

what is the risk from ALA?
What is this community’s take on ALA, as found in flaxseed oil? Is there risk for prostate cancer? If there is “risk”, is that solely an association with increased PSA? i.e. do significant amounts of flaxseed oil cause a change only in one’s baseline PSA? i.e. does it promote the [i]

The role of PSMA PET/CT in predicting downgrading in patients with Gleason score 4+4 prostate cancer in prostate biopsy - W Jour Uro 5/21/24
[i]An interesting investigation aimed at validating the use of PSMA PET/CT in patients to adjust the Gleason score (downward) of their cancer based on conventional pre-surgery biopsy, scans (ultrasound & MRI). In this instance the focus was on downgrading from a high-risk of 8 to an intermediate-risk

Hello - I'm about to return to the Mayo for the first review since my previous visit last November. As I've reported here, my last major treatment was chemo with cabazitaxel at the Oncology Center in Nicosia, Cyprus, where I live. This was successful: PSA fell from 83 at the start of chemo to about 3

Some good news to start the day: Complete Response in First Patient Ever Treated with 2 Doses of Cu-67 SAR-bisPSMA at 8GBq...6 months
I have already written about this, but then he approached the 6 months mark, so... "The patient remains with undetectable levels of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) for almost 6 months, following the administration of the second dose of 67Cu-SAR-bisPSMA. PSA is a marker used to assess clinical response

So the odds we all read about... are they true?
When my husband (age 52) was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer two and a half years ago, he was told the outlook was "grim." Everything we read told us once it moves to the bone (his has) then you're looking at months, not years, of life left. He had TEMPUS done, which was basically the oncologist

Anyone out there try the carnivore diet.
I have been on a low carb diet since my diagnosis back in March of 2023 . Eligard and Erleada have got my PSA down from 195 down to 0.01.

Before I leave this wonderful group I'd like to pick your individual/collective brains. Since it's too late to help my husband, I'm looking for info that I can pass on to my son and 6 grandsons so they might better understand this awful cancer should they ever get it.

How much targeted radiation to mets?
Hi, Warriors. I've been through Zytiga, Pluvicto and Xtandi - all failed. Have aggressive metastatic cancer and mets head to toe. Starting to get pain in bones and already had one major blast of radiation to ribs. Can they keep blasting spots as they get painful, or is there a radiation limit?

Large Prostate more difficult to remove ?
In 2013 I had robotic prostatectomy. My prostate was quite large, volume 130ml, size 7.43x5.61x5.97cm. As a result, prostate was removed in two pieces, no seminal vesicles where removed and path: "pT2c bilateral, pNx, GL 4+3 Tertiary 5, EPE not identified, SUV not identified". I understand, pNx means
