Does taking Tamsulosin plus Dutaseride for BPH mask true PSA numbers ?
Before I got diagnosed with PCa , I was taking Tamsulosin plus Dutaseride for many years to control symptoms of BPH. My question is does taking them for many years show a false lower psa number than it actually would be ?

PSA showing .014 - concerned?
I had RP 3/22, PSA went up to .095 3 months after. I started Orgovyx on 8/15/22 had radiation Jan & Feb 23 and started Abi 4/23. All my psa's have been 0 since 10/22. Now it is at .014. I see my oncologist next Tuesday but I don't want to wait for his answer. How bad of a sign is this? I'm guessing

Quick update on my journey
My bio has most of the brief history of my recent diagnosis. I’m on month 3 of Xtandi plus Orgovyx and just met with Rad Onc at Duke for initial consultation. Plan is low dose IMRT over 20 days (every day for 5 days in a row each week). Expect to remain on existing doublet Tx for at least the next

We could tell in advance if enzalutamide works on a patient: computational biology
hopefully it will be clinically tested soon ”For the study in Nature Communications, Mitrofanova's team developed computational algorithms to discover why the prostate cancer drug enzalutamide (sold under the brand name Xtandi) never works for some patients and why it eventually stops working in others

Adavanced Prostate Cancer with widespread bone Metastases with pain.
The Home Care Hospice Nurse advised Buec 5 patches + Oramorph liquid to take if he has spike through pain and requested that off the GP. The Oramorph even 1 ml gave my husband nightmares and panic attacks, especially during the night We have asked for a CT Scan to see how the metastases progression

help after a prostatectomy
hi I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in march of 2023 Gleason 3+4. went to Mayo Az for a robotic prostatectomy. Had a great surgeon he did a bilateral nerve sparring surgery in Dec of same year. Erectile dysfunction and Incontinence were my greatest fear and I have both. It’s been a roller coaster

PSA doubled in last 30 days after 4 months stable since Provenge. What's next?
Update: PSA remained roughly 1.7 to 1.8 for last 4 months after Provenge but yesterday's 30-day PSA test revealed a jump to 3.190 so something is growing quick. I have been off of all ADT since finishing fourth LU-177 injection five months ago and one SBRT treatment 4 months ago. After LU-177, PSA

Docetaxel - how many rounds did you have?
With my husband's recent PSA reading of 5 (down from 162 before we started chemo), it appears still to be working for him. Our MO plans to continue as long as it works and his body tolerates it. Other than being a couch potato and having digestive issues for one week out of three, he's doing okay.

Studies re: PSA > 0.5% after RT
Can anyone interpret the gist of these studies? Correct me if I am wrong (and I sure hope to be) but from what I am gleaning, it seems that for those who have RT and a concurrent round of ADT: 1) Researchers and studies are showing that waiting 18 months to reach a post RT nadir isn't necessary to determine

6 Month Eligard
I got my results from PSA/PET last week, showing no metastatic activity anywhere, bones and lymph nodes clear. My last Gleason score was 4+3 in 1 sample, 3+3 in 2 more same side, but focus of intraductal cancer in 2 cores on other side. Last PSA 5.3 in February, stable between 5.0 and 5.8 last 2 years

Is it PSA recurrence or not...
My friend had a radical prostatectomy a year ago. Since then his monthly PSA results were stable, at 0.006 3 months ago his PSA went from 0.006 to 0.012, then the next month to 0.029. His MO wanted to see the third month's results in order to consider salvage radiation therapy. Luckily, third month's

Mortality Probability after first PSA rise vs non-castrate testosterone levels (low vs Normal)
Here's a plot from Atkins (2018) that shows the Percent risk of Prostate Cancer-specific Mortality versus time following a first PSA failure, for two different non-castrate testosterone levels (Low-T and Normal-T). The low testosterone levels are: median = 162, range = 120-236 ng/dL. Normal T is 400

PSA holding low!!
Hi all, I just want to give notice to everyone :-) that the PSA is still at a low level after almost 3 years of ADT. So it was 0.03 in July last year. In January it fell to 0.01 and now it went up meaningless, I hope, to 0.02. Good health to everyone!
