Can prostate still bleed after Radiation Treatments (HDRBT and IMRT)?
I remember reading that prostate becomes hard as a rock once fried by HDRBT and
IMRT
, if this is accurate, can it still bleed? Does it shed any tissue or fiber that comes out through urination?

SBRT for High Risk PC
vastly superior to EBRT-only in high and intermediate risk men, although urinary toxicity was also higher: https://www.prostatecancer.news/2017/03/brachy-boost-gold-standard-for.html I think the new trial would randomize men to either: (A) Brachy boost therapy: ADT+46 Gy/28 fractions of whole-pelvic

Still considering SRT
IMRT
with him or Dr. Wong at Mayo. Thanks for any thoughts! I need to decide ADT or SRT soon. I really would like to bring in PSMA Pet into decision. Thanks as always.

"Prostate cancer lives as it is born" question (Radiation resistance)
My psa started to elevate in 2015 a a faster rate, when my PSA was at 10, I had
IMRT
and high dose brachytherapy. Two months later my PSA was down to 5, then I felt really sick for about three days, then went back to feeling normal but after that my PSA tests started showing increasing numbers.

Ra223 Xofigo and Cabazataxel compared
Since diagnosis 2009 at 62yo, with inoperable Gleason 9, but with low Psa only 6, I had failed RP attempt in 2010, but has EBRT + 2 years ADT, then pause showing Pca progress so I am still on ADT, and had salvation
IMRT
to PG, Cosadex, Zytiga, 5 doses Docetaxel, all not stopping Pca progress hence move

Question
My dad had local prostate cancer and 50
IMRT
and lupron for 18 months - then was off everything until 5 years later when Psa creeped up now he has a few bone Mets- when back on lupron and Zytiga the psa is low- does that mean he is hormone sensitive still -

The trial was aggressive; ADT, chemo and abiraterone concurrently, followed by
IMRT
37 sessions.

PSMA scan results at PSA 0.12
I would also like to add zytiga or Nubeqa in there for 12-18 months to address micro disease after
IMRT
/IGRT. Any thoughts re treatment plan. Thanks as always (at 1-2 pads still fear incontinence but this sounds like possible cure?? Odds 50/50?). Jim

Side effects of IMRT?
I get my gold beads (fiduciary markers) on Dec. 4, 3030 and begin intensity modulated radiation therapy soon after. What were your experiences? Side effects? Diet? etc. Thanks.

I really don't like surgery but radiation has it drawbacks as well, along with their being so many different types (Proton, SBRT,
IMRT
, EBRT, 3D-CRT etc.)!

IMRT delay? Significant?
I am presently in my 2nd month of ADT (Firmagon), and as a result after 1st month my PSA went from .16 to <.01 (undetectable) and T from 128 to 19. Due to the spike in Covid...and some insurance issues....instead of starting Dec. 21 (just before the holidays)....we are looking at moving it to mid to

Supplements to take during IMRT while on Zytiga
Hello all, my husband has just started 5 weeks of
IMRT
to the abdomen based on Axumin scan which revealed a 1.8 cm avid retrocaval metastatic lymph node. He has been on Zytiga since September 2019. PSA is now at 6.18, up from 3.6 two months prior.

Finally All Mets Zapped!
Phuoc Tran’s (John Hopkins) colonization theory of mPCa spread holds water and with prostate killed 18 months ago (
IMRT
) the are no more supply depots left to support cancer cells remaining in the tissue and bloodstream.
