SBRT for radiorecurrent PCa
Does anyone know of current studies on this treatment? Which centers have the most expertise? Also, any studies which report on increased effectiveness with a short term course of ADT before SBRT?

Thinking about stopping Xgeva
When my urologist suggested I see an oncologist I was immediately put on Abi and had a Dexa bone scan scheduled. That was August and scan was done Dec. In the meantime he started me on Xgeva because I had been on adt for 16 months. He agreed to 1 injection every 3 months after 6 months even though my

On treating micro-metastatic disease
I watched a video posted by PCRI recently on YouTube. In the video entitled "Treating micro-metastatic disease", Dr Mark Scholz mentioned that undergoing one year of ADT is sufficient post radiation. Thereafter just monitor the PSA for any rise, and use PSMA PET scan to locate any cancer and to radiate

PSA uptick
Quick background, my dad was diagnosed with metastatic PCa in 2018. Initially treated with docetaxel + ADT. His PSA has been at/near undetected (<0.01-0.02) for several years, but recently there has been an uptick to 0.08 (similar on a recheck, so not lab error). Obviously still low-level, but concerning

Reason for ADT
Why is ADT used after SBRT? If radiation kills the cancer or makes it impossible to reproduce, then why do some doctors recommend ADT?

6 months after MRI Guided SBRT at MSK
After a year and a half of Active Surveillance, my cancer progressed to GL 4+3 and I decided to have MRI Guided SBRT in August at Memorial Sloan Kettering in NYC under the care of Dr. Sean McBride. I had 5 sessions over 10 days and each lasted about an hour. The entire team at MSK was wonderful and

A Clinical Trial saved my Life ..12 years a Survivor of Advanced Metastatic Prostate Cancer, Stage 4.
When Alfred Samuels was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in 2012, it felt as if his world had fallen apart overnight. Doctors said surgery wasn’t an option for him because the cancer had spread beyond his prostate, and he started to lose hope. But then he joined a clinical trial and began treatment

Targeting Mets w SBRT- what’s your experience?
Have any of you guys had any luck targeting distant metastases with SBRT after your mets remained small or dormant while on ADT but after PSMA scans had showed more in number than olago (more than five mets)? My PSMA scan in January 2022 showed 10 scattered small mets so our area SBRT (Cyberknife) radiation

What category of Intermediate Risk Am I?
I am trying to make a decision regarding HT with RT. I am 78. I have CKD 3b, and a solitary kidney. I am 6.5 years in remission from UTUC kidney cancer. A number of papers indicate that HT could be detrimental to my kidney. Those with FIR PCa could avoid HT with little risk. The following is defined

Is there seasonality to testosterone levels?
My ADT treatments (Lupron/Abiraterone/Prednisone) ended on May 02 2023 at which point both my PSA and Testosterone were flat lined. Here are the results of the four times I have been tested since the end of the ADT. * Aug 18 2023: PSA is 0.09, Testosterone is 3.3 nmol/l (95.2 ng/dL), Testosterone

Thoughts on using AI for ADT decisions
I found the following article in the NEJM to be interesting. You may want to review it for future reference to help someone in the future making decisions about their cancer treatment or incorporating AI in your research. Just a side note my grandkids are being exposed to this type of research methodically

High risk and ADT duration since PSMA

PSMA PET Looks Good But PSA Rising
Hello, I am hoping someone can help us understand what we might be missing prior to meeting with MO this week. My husband was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer with mets to pelvic lymph node and a few spots in bones in early January 2022 at 56 years old. He was successfully treated with Triplet

Unexpected early end to ADT
I have been on Orgovyx for 14 months. Intended to complete 18 months and then stop. When I re-applied to the Orgovyx Patient Assistance Program for the 2024 year, I provided my 2022 tax return.
