Is the a standard/preferred course of treatment for mixed ductal PC (post- RALP, post recurrence in prostate bed, post radiation)?
Gleason 8, 3 mos post-
prostatectomy
PSMA showed spot in prostate bed, just finished radiation of pelvic bed, in month 4 of Lupron (2 years planned).

NIH Effect of Sulforaphane in Men with Biochemical Recurrence after Radical Prostatectomy RP
Podcast MIN 6:27: Effects of Sulforaphane on PSA Doubling Time • Prostate cancer biomarker PSA doubling time is affected by Sulforaphane • Sulforaphane Is found in broccoli and broccoli sprouts. • 60 milligrams a day increases the doubling time for prostate cancer PSA by 86% • 35 milligrams a day

Usefulness of uPSA (ultra-sensitive prostate-specific antigen) following radical prostatectomy

High risk treatment - go conventional or experimental?
One reason radical
prostatectomy
makes sense, especially robotic. If you can definitely "get it all". After hearing from relatives that have been in both camps. I would only take robot route, but I think even though there is a da vinci robot in Vancouver I would still have to pay out of pocket.

No SOC treatment. Metastatic lymph nodes by PSMA-PET. Rising PSA. Bone/CT scans neg. Waiting to die.
I had a radical
prostatectomy
early but not radiation or ADT. I worried about the side effects of ADT in particular, which turned out to be warranted. I had my third bone scan and a new CT scan two weeks ago. Both unremarkable with no cancer identified.

Modified Citrus Pectin - reply from Dr Eliaz
METHODS: There were 1,652 patients treated with radical
prostatectomy
(RP) between 1982 and 2019 at 8 Veterans Affairs hospitals who had a biochemical recurrence included. For all patients, PSADT values were calculated using all the PSA values within each 12-month block after BCR up to 3 years.

PSMA PET SCAN
He's had
prostatectomy
in 2019, 35 treatments of radiation & 6 mos. of Eliguard. His PSA has been undetectable for 1-1/2 years until March. It's risen slightly since then to 0.35. I don't understand this. I'm leaving out where's there's nothing seen in most areas . Help if you can.

Is there any evidence of radical Prostatectomy after local spread in nodes.
Do urologist surgeons remove prostate with local spread?

need help understanding pathology report
My husband had surgery last week (robotic
prostatectomy
), it’s a long story as to how that came about but they ruled out the rectal invasion and questioned lymph node involvement which then downgraded his staging based on multiple scans.

Post-SRT/ADT PSA Monitoring
I had a radical
prostatectomy
in 2011 that ultimately failed, with biochemical recurrence happening several years down the road. Last summer, I had androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) initiated two months before starting 35 sessions of salvage radiation therapy (SRT).

Testicular problems after a Prostatectomy?
I have a problem in the testicular area (my right side). It has bothered me at different times post RP. There is a soft sack at the top of the testicle, dull pain, tender and redness in the scrotum, the frequent need to urinate, discomfort in the lower abdomen. A Testicular ultrasound found only some

My offered treatments for my intermediate prostate cancer
Prostatectomy
(Remove prostate). 2. External radiation beam(using spaceoar). 3. Sound waves-HIFU 4. Cryotherapy (Freezing ) 1 is not an option for me right now. Leaning Radiation or Sound waves. Feedback is welcomed. Thank you.

Post Prostatectomy PSA at 0.2, need advice for 1st discussion w/ oncologist
PSA has reached 0.2 after a RALP in 2020 so I'm being referred to a radiation oncologist for further treatment. Post operation biopsy determined positive margin at the mouth of the bladder which raised my staging to a T3. I've done some research but would appreciate some feedback from others in this

PET PSMA scan and low PSA and Lurpon
Lets say the PSA without Lupron might be a 10, (also no
prostatectomy
was ever performed.) My radiologist wants me to get the scan so I can then get set up for IMRT and possible SBRT.

Stearic Acid & Oleic Acid
(2007): "
The ratio of oleic-to-stearic acid in the prostate predicts biochemical failure after radical
for localized prostate cancer" [5] I wonder how PCa affects the ratio in red blood cells?

Phase 1 CBD dose escalation trial - At the 12-week landmark time-point, 16 out of 18 (88%) had stable biochemical disease
Experimental design: This was an open-label, single center, phase I dose escalation study followed by a dose expansion in BCR patients after primary definitive local therapy (
prostatectomy
+/− salvage radiotherapy or primary definitive radiotherapy).

New prostate cancer diagnosis @ 52
We are assuming his doctor is going to recommend a
prostatectomy
. Anyone have any thoughts on treatment/
prostatectomy
? Thank you.

Which MRI study to order
Slowly rising PSA after robotic
prostatectomy
2016. Which is the most appropriate MRI study to oder? Pelvis MRI or Prostate? With and without contrast?

Anything else?
I had a
prostatectomy
in September 2021 after I ran a self ordered blood test in April 2021 and had a psa of 15.2. Asymptomatic and no signs or family history. RP pathology was 4+3/ PSA 16.2 EPE, SVI, PNI and tertiary 5 at the bladder neck with 36 lymph nodes clear.
