Annual Scans
Hubby is having his annual scans today. Doc ordered CT and bone scan as in the past to compare "apples to apples".At what point should a pet scan be done? Which tracer? His PSA has been in the undetectable range and he is feeling fine besides the regular side effects to the meds.

Genetic therapy: for solid malignancy hopefully soon
ok, I post them also because they are fellow Italians! But the platform is very promising even if clinical use has been approved only for glioma and glioblastoma at the moment. But there are clinical trials going on for solid tumors, prostate included. https://www.genenta.com/wp-content/uploads/2021

BC Which Hospital Update _ and eyesl
I got a call saying I could go into local hospital for my flexy cystoscopy There is a 25 mile difference. My last rigid cystoscopy showed that 5 out of 6 biopsies was low grade, hence the flexy cystoscopy.. I have not long ago finished my 3 x BCG infusions - Have they worked, my flexy cystoscopy

Olaparib hasn’t worked for me . Anyone had this happen and had success with another PARP?
Hi everyone, I’m back of Chemo for 3rd line, this time with Carbo and Caelyx. This is just a year after 1st recurrence, Chemo reduced cancer to nearly NED, 7 months of Olaparib and then CT scan showed new tumour on spleen. CA125 36. Oncologist mentioned later trying another PARP possibly Rucaparib

ADT 's effect on body fat and muscle mass from Life on ADT blog by Richard Wassersug
ADT’s impact on Muscle and Fat October 23, 2023 Standard ADT with either LHRH agonist or antagonist drugs (like Lupron or Firmagon, respectively) cause a loss of lean muscle mass and weight gained as fat. Those are among the most common side effects of ADT. Patients experience this as fatigue for they

After some Advice
Hi all, I was hoping to get some advice. I have been on AS sonce December 2021 and am due for a PSA and MRI next month. Following this my urologist said that a follow up biopsy may be required. My Question should I also ask for a PMSA, I have read that this type of imagining picks up smaller lesions

ATM gene mutation
I just received results from genetic testing that I have a ATM gene mutation. I am currently not on any meds and my last PSMA pet scan was negation. I am scheduled for a follow up PSA test mid march based on rising PSA after 5 years undetectable. Based on the ATM finding will this change any future therapy

Undetectable!!
Well, that pesky lymph node is now no longer PSMA detectable. After 1 year of Lupron, and Zytiga. So, now Im looking at 2 more years of Lupron (FML), and 1 more year of Zytiga. MO and RO both said to follow STAMPEDE trial. I want to follow SSPORT trial!! Odd thing, my Testosterone yesterday was 4

Not about PCa but interesting: GLP-1 Receptor Agonists help with colorectal cancer
"A research letter recently published in JAMA Oncology has provided some promising insights into the potential of Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in lowering the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) among patients with type 2 diabetes. The study involved a national retrospective analysis

How long to Castrate Resistance: ADT+/- ARSI
Further discussion on details of EMBARK study on another HU forum bears restating here (IMO). For high risk BCR (and beyond) ADT combined with ARSI (in this case enzalutamide) is clearly superior to either monotherapy. However, development of castrate resistance between ADT + Enza vs. Enz monotherapy

Any difference between 6 month lupron or 6 month elegard injection?
Hi, I’m currently on 3 month lupron injection and doing well with PSA of >0.01 and asked my doctor if there is a 6 month injection. I’ve asked twice and twice he sent a prescription for Elegard instead of Lupron. Should I stay on Lupron? Is there any difference between the two?

Which Treatment for These Biopsy Results?
I now have my biopsy results Gleason 3 + 4 ie 90% of 3 and 10% of 4 Grade 2 The consultant said it was Intermediate but at one point used the term Low intermediate. Is this latter term valid given the stats? T2a NO MO - but I am puzzled about this because although it was mostly all on the left side

Lung Cancer Treatment
