PSA levels will increase over time, depending on the level of testosterone - Part I
Here's a schematic plot of the increase in PSA level (or increase in tumor volume) over time, for various levels of testosterone (while the tumor is relatively small). At very low levels of testosterone (for example, T = 10 ng/dL), the increase in PSA level is very small after a given time (for example

Baseline PSMA-Pet scan?

High risk vs. aggressive cancer
I understand the definition of high-risk prostate cancer (Gleason, PSA and/or spread), but that doesn't necessarily seem to be the same thing as aggressive cancer. How can aggressiveness be determined for high risk, localized cancer? Thanks for any insight and information.

One questions doctors never seem to be able to answer is at what PSA level do you start to experience pain or physical problems?
One questions doctors never seem to be able to answer is at what PSA level do you start to experience pain or physical problems? If you have had surgery, Salvage Radiation, ADT, SRBT and then stopped ADT with a continuing rise in you PSA when did you start to have pain or physical problems?

Enzalutamide vs Lupron Survival
This shows the main results of the EMBARK trial, comparing Metatasis Free Survival and PSA Recurrence Free Survival for three groups: Enzalutamide only, Lupron only, or combined Enzalutamide + Lupron. The best survivals were for the combination of Enzalutamide + Lupron. Enzalutamide is a 2nd generation

Pluvicto Question
Just had third Pluvicto in fusion and Spect scan today and got results. Not sure what this means. If the findings are similar compared to the last scan why does this indicate"technically successful" therapy. Also PSA went down just slightly after infusion number two but went up a little from PSA after
