PSA after chemo # 4
Hi My husbands last chemo was # 3 and PSA was 0.14, he just got the results from Chemo # 4 and it was at 0.12. This is the slowest decline if you look in the profile Iisted all his PSA results. Should we be worried that this last one barely moved ? Or is this slower decline good news? Thanks for any

PSA Nadir 6 Months After Primary RT Correlates With Prostate Cancer Outcomes — Or does it?, MedPage Today May 22, 2024
"The ability to have an early marker of treatment activity is appealing in localized [
prostate
cancer], where the natural history of the
disease
means it may take several years to demonstrate a benefit in PCSM or OS," the authors wrote of their findings.

Hi, My husband was diagnosed over 10 years ago with Prostate cancer with PSA 18 and Gleeson 4+3. He was never offered prostatectomy as they said there was a small metastases on the pelvis. So he had 2 weeks of radiation on his hip, and was then treated with 6 monthly injections of Decapeptyl, which

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

PSA rise
I have been undetectable for about 2 years. On Dec 6 my PSA was 0.04 then on March 19 it was 0.21 so this indicates a rise in Mets. Is this too low for a scan? What should be the next steps?

PSA rise due to physical activity
My PSA has been rising slowly.. 4-5 points in 3 months. Until January when it went from 29 to 43 in one month. By end of February it was still at 43. I feel fine! Here is a quote from the National Library of Medicine: “Physical activity releases prostate-specific antigen (PSA) from the prostate

new PSA
my PSA rose from .04 in Jan to now .21 so it’s moving up. I assume this is still too low for a scan to determine where pc is at. I was undetected for 2 years after radiation of pelvic area.

... what, then, do we die of?
It has long been known that men with PCa are at an increased risk for cardiovascular
disease
. Mark Moyad's view that "Heart healthy is
prostate
healthy", ("and heart unhealthy is prostate unhealthy.") [2] is largely true imo.

Chemo progress
PSA 139 @ DX1-2024 started Orgovyx and Nubeqa dropped PSA to 62.93. Started Chemo 1st infusion..PSA 23.3 2nd infusion..PSA 11.26 3rd infusion.. PSA 7.45 Just got my labs back for the 3rd infusion. Just feel disappointed as I was hoping for a larger drop and seemed to have stalled out. Does it look

4 years post EBRT (44) PSA 0.1 Up from undetectable.
MO thinks it will go up hopefully slowly. Recheck psa in 3 months. Dumb question maybe. Stage 4?

Is nmCRPC potentially curable?
I would appreciate any input on this. I searched the internet and found this article from Fred Saad: Treatment of nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer: focus on second-generation androgen receptor inhibitors https://www.nature.com/articles/s41391-020-00310-3 I couldn't find anything

PSA vs Testosterone Nadir for CRPC and Non-CRPC
This plot from Safriadi (2022) compares the mean values of PSA nadir versus Testosterone Nadir comparing Non-Castrate Resistant PC (Non-CRPC) to Castrate-Resistant PC (CRPC) men. For Non-CRPC men, the range of T-nadir was 2.5-49 ng/dL (mean = 21) and range for PSA nadir was 0.02-9 ng/mL (mean=2). For

Dad's PSA risen from 0.01 to 0.05 in 2 months, 2 years post SRT. Any chance that there is no further progression?
PSA has risen 3 times in a row. I understand the figure is still low, but is this a definite indication that it will progress, or is there a chance that PSA can stabilize or fluctuate and not progress further? Things have been difficult in the family, I am hoping for a miracle that he had a curative

Upon losing my father , some retrospect. Take what you need and leave the rest.
My dad did not die of
prostate
cancer my friends . My dad died of a
disease
he got from very aggressive treatment and then one could factor in poor diet, a life around car fumes ,the covid vaccine ,and enormous stress. Through all treatments my dad's pca only grew maybe slightly .

drug vacation
Who had PSA level come back all the way down after a drug vacation? I want to do a holiday when my Lupron wears off in a couple months. PSA now is .053. Been on Lupron and abi for six years.
