CTC circulating tumor cell count
I haven’t seen too much mention of CTC tests when PSA rises. Some rises at very low levels are not clearly correlated or confirmed by PET scans. So why isn’t CTC used, too expensive, inaccurate, most men lack a baseline test? Just curious if anyone tests this and what their experience has been

I've posted on here before about this but I'm getting antsy. A fibroid and possible ovarian mass were found on a CT when I went in for stomach pains (which turned out to be diverticulitis). On the CT scan they noticed a a complex cyst on my left ovary, however they couldn't be sure if it was just a

Some good news…
I’ve been trying to figure out some extreme lower back pain, and had another PSMA/PET scan today. I had visions of cancerous spread to my spine, and wanted to check things. Well, while it didn’t solve my back pain questions, it

good news.

Understanding the Threat of Micrometastases (also known as Minimal Residual Disease) in Prostate Cancer or Don't sweat the small stuff
Greetings followers of FPC; It is time to set things straight in regards to the oligometastatic state in prostate caner. Posters will tell you that it does not exist because of micrometastases. So let's take a look at micrometastases first. The dreaded micrometastases.....the ultimate death sentence

Did the Prostate Biopsy Pick Up What the MRI Missed? Or was it a Newer Developed Lesion
Back at the end of March (2024) I had an MRI which according to my urologist indicated 2 suspect areas he called "lesions." Two months later, at the end of May (2024), I had a prostate biopsy which after it was over, I was told (by assistant helping with procedure) there were 3 suspect

is everyone else not getting diagnosed or much treatment?
I’ve had severe period pain for years, when I wasn’t taking painkiller in time I would be sick and feel faint. I have tried paracetamol and ibuprofen in the pad which did nothing. I took naproxen 500mg which used to completely block my pain but now only stops it being severe. More recently I’ve been

Odd Lesion
Anyone ever have a cancerous lesion just in tissue not connected to any organ. I have a lesion we are watching behind my left kidney. It has grown from 6mm to 9mm. I have another CT on the 10th. My Oncologist questions that it is actually breast cancer so not biopsied yet.

Is there an "oligometastatic state" for prostate cancer (but not in breast cancer or lung cancer)?
The concept of an "oligometastatic state" is that there exists an early stage where metastases are few in number and are in some way different from metastases that develop later. It also means that there are no micrometastases in systemic circulation (in bone and lymph) and in reservoirs like bone, nerve

Hello beautiful ladies, My mum has been living with ovarian cancer since 2020. After debulking surgery and many treatments, her cancer was declared platinum-resistant.
