Adjuvant Radiation With ADT for Men With Lymph Node Metastases After Radical Prostatectomy
Interesting OS rate for patients with "adverse pathological features". this is a FYI and the study has design issues. https://www.practiceupdate.com/C/79695/56

Casodex & metformin
When they contact us, we determine if they have a biochemical recurrence, which we define as somebody who’s had
prostatectomy
followed by two rising PSAs above 0.2. If PSA doubling time is between three and nine months, those patients are potentially eligible for this trial.

To Go Public or Not
At the time I was 58 years old, and I opted for a radical
prostatectomy
. I had the surgery nine weeks later, giving me ample time to recover from the biopsy. The lab report that came back revealed that the cancer was contained within the prostate, and that only five percent was affected.

Up and Down, Back and Forth, Conflicting PCa history. Will value all opinions re future treatment. TYIA!
Patel did not repeat PSA nor biopsy, but scheduled robotic simple
prostatectomy
based on history and latest biopsy results (3 months earlier). August 14, 2014, laparoscopic robotic simple
prostatectomy
, Dr. Vipul Patel. Prostatic tissue removed in “simple” was 86 grams.

More ED-related Questions
Would such a test predict the success of nerve sparing following radical
prostatectomy
? My Urologist has not tested my testosterone level. Is it pretty standard for PCa patients (post RP) to be tested?

New Diagnosis
Unfortunately they didn’t know how extensive the cancer was until he was in surgery for his
prostatectomy
and the surgeon had to abort because he saw the tumor had grown out of the prostate. He did take some tissue from the peritoneal cavity and it came back with cancer in it as well.

Advice on Next Steps
Did 4 rounds of Taxotere chemo at .75. and then offered option between brachytherapy and
prostatectomy
based on "obvious shrinking of tumor on DRE" and "response to systemic therapy."

Intervention radiology
My husband is in quarantine and his exploratory surgery’s showed that his selvedge
prostatectomy
basically just killed the chance of reconnecting the urethra and bladder together again. So going to have to figure out a new way to work the plumbing.

Second Chance of SRT?

Considering the side effects, is post prostatectomy salvidge radiation, along with hormone therapy, worth the risks?
Went back to City of Hope where
prostatectomy
was done 5 years ago. One doctor wanted radiation and Lupron. Another doctor said radiation alone was good.

Steroid Hormones and Progression of Localized High-Risk PCa
Abstract BACKGROUND: In men with localized prostate cancer (PCa) who are undergoing radical
prostatectomy
(RP), it is uncertain whether their hormonal environment is associated with outcomes.

prostatectomy
in December. I had biopsy in August with 2 or 12 cores positive at Gleason7 & G8. Prostate Specific Antigen was 13 having quadrupled in a year. MRI and bone scans were negative. Pelvic nodes at surgery were negative.

Testosterone after Brachytherapy.
And, even at 18 months, recovery was only to baseline - not to the higher levels seen following
prostatectomy
. "Patients were followed for 24-60 months", but increases over baseline were not reported, at least in the Abstract.

Hormone therapy for post prostatectomy cancer recurrence.
I have been reading that hormone therapy, including Lupron, can cause cognitive decline. Has anyone heard of this, or had experience with this? Thanks
