Experiences with

Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT)

Has anyone heard of any preliminary results of the PACE-C trial? I am looking for any clinical data regarding the long term effects of SBRT on patients with advanced prostate cancer, if anyone knows of any other studies please share. We are deciding on salvage treatments after RP. IMRT is the gold standards

so I had an mri in area of pain ( lower back) and no Pca found. So given I have only 3 bone mets per CTPETPSMA , my next step should be imrt to those Mets, correct?

I underwent 35 sessions (70 Gy) of IMRT salvage radiation therapy (SRT) to my prostate bed only in July and August 2022. Now, 27 months after the radiation ended, I am seeing traces of blood in my stools about 10% of the time. There were a couple of instances where the spots were more noticeable. The

Hey Warriors Just a quick update note. Feel free to comment if desired, however no responses are required or expected. It has been a year since diagnosis via Biopsy. GG3 (Gleason 4 +3) cT3aN1M1a. PET Scan showed in addition to PSMA uptake on Prostate gland, PSMA uptake on Pelvis/Iliac Lymph Nodes

Hello all, my husband is 10 months out from his IMRT radiation and for the past week every now and then he gets a little burning sensation at the start of the urination. It’s every now and then but not every day. He’s on monthly Firmagon injections. He had a blood test on Thursday when he got his injection

I initiated my 20 dose regimen of IMRT at Duke today on my Gleason 10, stage 4 prostate cancer (Mets in bladder neck and perineal area/seminal vesicles and some iliac lymph nodes). Been on Xtandi and Orgovyx for 5 months which has shrunk all tumors and the radiation is to kill what’s left. My question

I see a medical oncologist shortly. Plan as it's set is 3-4 months of Orgovyx +Zytiga, hoping to shrink my oversize prostae (~71cc). I'll start IMRT in January or February, do (I think) 25 sessions + some for irradiation of the pelvis. Then I'll have brachytherapy, and will stay on the ART for 1 or

my PSA started at 300 then went to <.1 at Kaiser after 6 months of lupron zytiga and imrt . Since, it has remained <.1 at Kaiser and I have been getting concurrent ultra-sensitive tests at LabCorp. Every 3 month Kaiser test remains at <.01 while Labcorp results have been: .067/.039/.022/.008 and

I’m 8 months into stage 4 Gleason 4+ 5 PSA 31 to start after 3 PSA tests steadily down to 0.11 . Next PSA test is Oct 29 . If it’s same number or lower ( PSA) test , why don’t they give you another scan to see if the radiation got it all ? I had 28 rounds of IMRT in June / July . I’m sure it’s part insurance

Hello friends, I am having a hard time sleeping due to a nagging suspicion. My husband has very high risk, hormone sensitive M1a pc which has been kept undetectable since January, ‘24 with doublet (Elgard/Abi/Pred and IMRT. His ALP baseline was 62 at initial dx in 4/22 and rose to 88 when he had a clinical

Hello, I went for my 6 month PSA check today. This is my 3rd check since IMRT was completed in May 2023. Prior to IMRT, I was at 4.31. The next 3 results were 2.12; 1.12 and today's 1.15. So I know its gone up 0.03 this time. I'm aware there are bumps along the way as explained by my medical team and

...well, rather than having brain cancer, or lung cancer or pancreatic cancer... In contrast, CaP is the one to choose. Oh.... we didn't choose? Most likely it was Dow Chemical (or one of the other 9 entities that produced 2-4-5-T (Agent Orange) that gave this to me. Nope, no military. I was drafted

My foley catheter has become extremly painful lever since I did a round of IMRT back in March. My urologist is reluctant to intervene but the catheter has become so painful that he is considering a TURP so that I can possibly rid myself of the foley. After doing a bit of reasearch I read an article

It's been 2 years since I completed salvage IMRT to surgical bed and pelvic lymph nodes. My MO recommended I have cystoscopy after reporting 3 very small clots during 1 week in urine (about size of crumbled picecs of corn flake). I decided to have one as curious to see what looked like post salvage

D-Day arrives August 6th for IG/IMRT. Two very kind and empathetic technicians attend to my placement on the treatment bed. Lasers aligned, they leave the room and this giant green machine (which I had not previously met) begins whirring and gyrating about my torso with beeps and clunks. I sense that

hello all. Wishing the best to everyone. Just a quick question that I think I know the answer to. After RP in June 2023 pathology was Gleason 4~3 with SVI, clear margins, lymph node dissection negative, prostate 30% involved. First PSA test all at quest was an ultra sensitive post prostatectomy test

I had a RP 5 years ago with recurrence - then had 72Gy of IMRT. After the RP with pelvic floor exercises, I had incontinence under control - just wearing 1 shield per day. But then after radiation I completely lost control. I go thru periods of intensely training and I still have hope. My problem is

Is Conventionally Fractionated Radiotherapy (CFRT) mentioned on https://mirakind.org/prostox-testing/ the same as Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)? Specifically, does the CFRT test indicate if I am at high or low risk for IMRT? If the result of SBRT test indicates high risk, can I opt for

That’s from an MRI taken six weeks after 10 sessions of IMRT were completed for a surgically inoperable metastasis in my skull. Apparently this means the contrast agent shows increased blood flow or activity in the tumor. Does that sound normal to still have increased blood flow or activity six weeks

Appreciate this forum and all whom post. I’m amidst 2-year course of Lupron and experiencing persistent leg pain, worst in both Achilles tendons and calves. Recent salvage IMRT, too. Thoughts on managing such SEs appreciated. Cheers.
