AMS 800 Urinary Sphincter
My radical
prostatectomy
was in March 2017; in August 2018 I had an AMS 800 urinary sphincter implanted. When I recovered from the implantation I was left with a tiny sore spot on the surface of my scrotum. All three of my urologists are mystified, since the sore spot isn't where the work was done.

PET-CT With 18F-Fluciclovine and 68Ga-PSMA-11 in Patients With Early Biochemical Recurrence After Prostatectomy
•The study authors concluded that, based on higher detection rates, PSMA is the preferable PET tracer for patients with prostate cancer and biochemical recurrence following radical
prostatectomy

Successful Recurrent Treatment - So Far
Thought I would share an update to forum members as I had previously posted on this forum seeking feedback to my 2nd treatment strategy after recurrent PSA after
prostatectomy
. Seems to be in remission - so far at this early stage? Positive stories are also something to share.

The prices for Lu 177 in Germany
He had only a
prostatectomy
in November 2018, and 6 biochemical mets since January 2019 (detected by a rising PSA and a Ga68 PSMA pet/ct). In Vienna, you go home immediatly after the treatment (about after one hour). So you must not stay in a hospital.

The definition of SECOND biochemical recurrence (after prostatectomy AND salvage radiation)
While there is a standard definition of biochemical recurrence (BCR) after
prostatectomy
(i.e., confirmed PSA ≥ 0.2 ng/ml), there is a confusing array of definitions of biochemical recurrence (BCR) [i]after[/i] salvage radiation (SRT).

Alternative Therapies
My radical
prostatectomy
took place in March 2017; in August 2018 I had an artificial urinary sphincter implanted to help with incontinence issues. Are there alternative treatments like acupuncture or CBD ointments that could help (1) overactive bladder; or (2) diminished libido?

Early Dutasteride Monotherapy in Patients With Elevated PSA Following Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy
All patients received a daily dose of 0.5 mg of dutasteride {Avodart} when post-RARP {Robot-Assisted Radical
Prostatectomy
}
PSA levels were increasing but had not achieved biochemical recurrence.

New PSMA ligand treatment with less side effects than Ac225?
After reading a out xerostomia(dry mouth, often permanent), I am seriously considering cancelling the Ac225 and just going with a
prostatectomy
along with having more APCEDEN vaccines made.

Obesity at diagnosis and prostate cancer prognosis and recurrence risk following primary treatment by radical prostatectomy
https://cebp.aacrjournals.org/content/early/2019/08/28/1055-9965.EPI-19-0488?rss=1 Background: The association of obesity at diagnosis with prostate cancer progression is uncertain.

Dr. Sperling ECE article, not encouraging
Dan Sperling is kind of discouraging for guys like me with Extracapsular Extension, especially the last paragraph: “Compared with organ-confined disease, prostate cancer with extracapsular extension is associated with decreased overall and cancer-specific survival following radical
prostatectomy
.”

APCCC 2019: Pitfalls of PSMA PET-CT in Advanced Prostate Cancer Imaging
A recent prospective single-arm trial assessed the accuracy of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET in localizing recurrent prostate cancer among 635 patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer after
prostatectomy
(n = 262, 41%), radiation therapy (n = 169, 27%), or both (n = 204, 32%).1 The presence of prostate

SRT Treatment for Prostate Cancer
I had a
prostatectomy
3 years ago since then psa has climb to .09. I was thinking of putting off SRT until reaching .2 I am concerned about the potential side effects of radiation. My pathology was G6 pt2c with positive margins at right apex and right lateral. Decipher score was .38 low risk.

From incontinence to an artificial urinary sphincter.
I had a
prostatectomy
just over three years ago. The removal of my prostate solved three problems and created two more. Gone was the urinary retention and trouble urinating. Also gone was the prostate cancer.

Detectible PSA two years after RP
I had a radical
prostatectomy
in June of 2017. I had several different Gleason numbers from the biopsy prior to surgery. The highest Gleason number was 7. My PSA was 23 prior to the biopsy. Surgery was successful and margins were clear at the post biopsy.

PSA up again after 30 days
And his Gleason was a 3+4, PSA prior to radical
prostatectomy
was 2.4. Scans also were clear prior to prostate removal. He’s doing well lifts and works out 5 days a week he’s plant based Can anyone tell me is this still slow growing? Do you know of a scan that can detect even if PSA is under 1?

German Innovation Offers New Alternative to Traditional Prostatectomy and Brachytherapy.
The video link will describe briefly Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) now being offered in San Diego. On the link page you can hear Dr. Stehling provide an overview of the procedure he helped develop in Frankfurt, Germany. The results of the NanoKnife seem very impressive given typical concerns about
