Oligometastatic PCa - My New Treatment Plan
I am going to have a robotic radical
prostatectomy
in July at MD Anderson. While this is ‘not the standard of care’, they are giving it a shot. The hope is that this will be curative (but of course no one knows for sure).

We also performed a pilot randomized double blind clinical study in which placebo or soy isoflavone supplements were given to PCa patients in the neo-adjuvant setting for 2 weeks prior to
prostatectomy
. Gene expression changes were measured in the
prostatectomy
specimens.

My history Pca
I was diagnosed in the spring of 2013 with contained Pca, + biopsy Gleason (3+4), adenocarcinoma, PSA 24, age at DX 60, and the urologist following the biopsy urged an immediate
prostatectomy
. I declined and decided to seek other opinions.

Where is the best place to go for adjunctive radiation therapy following radical prostatectomy with seminal vesicle involvem
Insurance is reluctant to pay for proton beam irradiation for prostate cancer, especially in the post-
prostatectomy
setting, but if financial resources are not an issue, I would suggest going to a proton beam treatment center.

First post op appointment next week.
My
prostatectomy
was 6 weeks ago. A million questions to ask but I will probably go blank on the day if I don't write them down in advance! I guess I have all the routine questions around leakage, ED ( not happy with Sildenafil), frequency of PSA and other tests etc.

Axumin PET Scan Results
My
prostatectomy
was on 1/26/18 (almost 4 weeks ago). They removed 28 lymph nodes during surgery, 8 of which had cancer. There was extra capsular extension, seminal vesicle invasion, perineural nerve invasion, and positive margins near the bladder neck.

Going to the gym
I’ve put on some weight since my
prostatectomy
, and it’s time to head to the gym. Since I leak even under routine activity, I’m concerned using the equipment will cause more leakage. The last thing I want is to pee on the equipment.

Long-term remission of prostate cancer with extensive bone metastases upon immuno- and virotherapy: A case report
In August 2005, the patient underwent a radical
prostatectomy
. Despite standard treatment, the patient developed progressive bone metastases and stopped conventional therapy in June 2007. Starting in October 2007, the patient was treated with LHT, oncolytic virotherapy and DC vaccination.

Starting to panic
I have not started any treatment yet since my
prostatectomy
Dec.6. I meet with the Radiation oncologist March 1st and then with my Urologist for the treatment plan. I am just having issues holding it together after finding out this morning.

ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (Hypoxia related mRNA biomarker to predict biochemical failure and metastasis)
The biomarker was then independently validated in multiple cohorts of prostate cancer patients with localized diseases receiving
prostatectomy
alone,
prostatectomy
plus adjuvant radiotherapy,
prostatectomy
plus salvage radiotherapy, or definitive radiotherapy alone.

Pacey Cuff for Male Urinary Incontinence
I want to let men know that there is a new device available to assist with the management of urinary incontinence, especially post
prostatectomy
UI. I am intrigued by this product's claim that blood flow remains normal while it is being used.

AXUMIN PET/CT STUDIES IN BCR PATIENTS . BY Nick Mulcahy,Medscape.
Among men who had already undergone
prostatectomy
and whose PSA level was <.5, there was a 25% detection rate upon scanning. That would have triggered salvage RT at Toeh's institution at Oxford, he said.
