Abiraterone, Prednisone, Apalutamide combo Improves Prostate Cancer Outcomes, Leaves HRQoL Unaffected
Oncological outcomes improved with the addition of abiraterone acetate (Zytiga) plus prednisone (AAP) and apalutamide (Erleada) after radical
prostatectomy
and did not significantly affect health-related quality of life.

Open or Robotic Prostatectomy
An open
prostatectomy
might give the surgeon a better view of the surgical field. Does anyone have any wisdom to lend me so I can make a choice between open or robotic
prostatectomy
?

AUS revision surgery?
My background: I had a
prostatectomy
in 2016 and radiation a year later because the cancerous tumor had penetrated the sack. I have since had undetected PSA but have suffered with severe stress incontinence. I had AUS surgery in 2018 but it failed because of erosion.

Rising PSA
I had a
prostatectomy
almost 3 years ago. My PSA has been undetectable (<0.01) for all that time. This week it was .02 I’m going to redo the test to make sure. Then my urologist wants to refer me to a radiation oncologist. Has anyone had any experience with this.

Effect of Age on Treatment Outcomes
The opposite is true for radical
prostatectomy
(RP) treatment. Namely, the older you are, the worse the outcome is after RP. https://www.redjournal.org/article/S0360-3016(23)07930-0/fulltext

PSA rising after salvage treatment
I had a radical
prostatectomy
in 2021 followed by salvage radio therapy. My psa levels have been rising slowly since then and I wondered if there was any advice as to what it might mean and if there is anything I should be doing at this point?

My decision on Radiotherapy -v- Prostatectomy
I then needed to make a decision on radical
prostatectomy
or radical radiotherapy. Officially, both were treated equally. My initial thoughts had been on RP rather than RT. However, after investigating the options in more detail, I decided on the radiotherapy.

Blood in urine
I had a robotic radical
prostatectomy
three months ago. In the first few weeks after surgery, my urine was clear, but then I started showing blood on my pads during walks. This has continued ever since and I'm now at 12 weeks after surgery. These are pink spots, not clots.

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.

Prostate-as-"PCa Factory" - Reasons for Removal?
While reading the bio of forum member, I noted the following advantage to radical
prostatectomy
(paraphrased):"
No more PCa factory
" As I have written in multiple posts I am enjoying very effective
triplet therapy
against my high volume metastatic prostate cancer.

help for arousal incontinence
I'm 58 and had a nerve-sparing radical
prostatectomy
9 weeks ago. My recovery has gone fairly smoothly - I had no stress urinary incontinence after the catheter came out and haven't really needed pads, and my erections are slowly starting to recover (been taking Cialis 20mg/day).
