Pluvicto Question
Just had third Pluvicto in fusion and Spect scan today and got results. Not sure what this means. If the findings are similar compared to the last scan why does this indicate"technically successful" therapy. Also PSA went down just slightly after infusion number two but went up a little from PSA after

life Insurance
I wanted to get opinions regarding my life insurance 800K which will be expiring in a couple of months. I have the option to roll it over to a universal policy but it’s going to cost me 2K a month. I’m still Homone sensitive. And been on ADT and Nubeqa (daroludimide) for the last couple of years. Had

PSA now undetectable with 2 of 35 radiation treatments left.
PSA now undetectable with 2 of 35 radiation treatments left to complete. I will start Abiraterone next week, in addition to the Lupron I’m currently on. I’m celebrating today’s victory and wanted to share here. Of course, many days have been consumed with worry over the unknown. This group has been

PSA doubled in last 30 days after 4 months stable since Provenge. What's next?
Update: PSA remained roughly 1.7 to 1.8 for last 4 months after Provenge but yesterday's 30-day PSA test revealed a jump to 3.190 so something is growing quick. I have been off of all ADT since finishing fourth LU-177 injection five months ago and one SBRT treatment 4 months ago. After LU-177, PSA

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

PSA vs Testosterone Nadir for CRPC and Non-CRPC
This plot from Safriadi (2022) compares the mean values of PSA nadir versus Testosterone Nadir comparing Non-Castrate Resistant PC (Non-CRPC) to Castrate-Resistant PC (CRPC) men. For Non-CRPC men, the range of T-nadir was 2.5-49 ng/dL (mean = 21) and range for PSA nadir was 0.02-9 ng/mL (mean=2). For

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

Dad's PSA risen from 0.01 to 0.05 in 2 months, 2 years post SRT. Any chance that there is no further progression?
PSA has risen 3 times in a row. I understand the figure is still low, but is this a definite indication that it will progress, or is there a chance that PSA can stabilize or fluctuate and not progress further? Things have been difficult in the family, I am hoping for a miracle that he had a curative

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
