Need practical advice re:RRP for 76 year-old in fair shape
Hi everyone, My husband, just turned 76, is having a robotic radical prostatectomy on 5/13. He is (so far) Gleason 4+3, high Decipher score., clean PSMA. We eventually chose surgery as he's also been in retention for many months due to a median lobe, he preferred that to doing a HoLep followed by radiation

Pluvicto Treatment
So, I just completed my 3rd round of Pluvicto and my primary oncologist wanted me to do a CT scan w/contrast and a bone scan. The Ct showed some increase in cancer in the liver and a number of other spots. I am only doing Pluvicto and no other treatment as requested. Are there other people who are receiving

tp53 mutation
Hi All, my dad has been diagnosed with CLL and has just had it confirmed that he has the TP53 mutation/deletion. He is stable at the moment and is currently on watch & wait. His consultant has said if and when he starts treatment it will be for life or until it isn’t effective. I’ve read lots that say

Different mutation?
I was just checking via my NHS app what had been sent to my GP, when I noticed on a letter from Guys this - it listed my mutations - CGN - normal karotype, NGS - CALR, L2AF1, ASXL2. (High risk markers) Previously I thought I was ASXL1, it could be a typo I suppose but does anyone know the difference

Today was a good day
My husband had his PSMA scan today and it was negative for mets!! I am so relieved! He also had his PSA tested today and no change since December. I feel like I can breathe for a moment. We also met with the radiation oncologist this morning to discuss brachytherapy boost and it was a very positive meeting

New results soon (hopefully): A Phase 1 Study of FOR46 in Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC)
Not the latest, but some more insight, since results should be on their way https://clinicaltrials.ucsf.edu/trial/NCT03575819 but they are already working on another CD46-targeted alpha therapy based on YS5, a radioimmunoconjugate. https://jeccr.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13046-023-02636

Does Immunotherapy cause Vasculitis?
Hi, my Mum had vasculitis in 2013 following a bad infection, she continues to take 5mg prednisone to this day.Sadly she has been diagnosed with a stage 2 tumor of the cecum which because of her age and frailty at 81 years old is suggested to be inoperable. Genetic testing reveals its a type of cancer

Weightlifting (machines) during SBRT?
(duplicate post) I am starting my five SBRT sessions tomorrow, April 29, 2024. I was not supposed to lift over ten pounds between my MRI/CT scan to locate my fiducials and my SBRT. I miss my workouts. Can I return to the gym with workouts on machines that isolate my muscle groups and avoid stress
