Cancer Risk vs %Free PSA Ratio
Here's a plot of the Risk (probability) of getting prostate cancer versus the % Free
PSA
/ Total
PSA
ratio, for three different ages: 55, 65 and 75 y.o.. Interestingly, the PCa risk decreases as the % Free
PSA
ratio increases.

PSA went up after three treatments of chemotherapy
before the first treatment
PSA
was 89. after the first treatment
PSA
was 73.31.. after the second treatment
PSA
was 52.82. after the third treatment,
PSA
was 73.31.. does it make sense to take another chemotherapy treatment since the
PSA
has risen after the 3rd treatment?

Lupron unjection not reducing PSA
I was then put on Orgovyx, that did not stop
psa
from rising. I was then put on monthly injections of lupron, the
psa
was 25. Lupron dropped the
psa
to 10. I have been on lupron for 4 monthly injections. My
PSA
keeps rising, last
psa
test was 28 last month, guess I'm castrate resistant now.

Is a
PSA
increase from .13 to .20 a concern? I'm on Eligard and Zytiga & Prednisone + Xgeva.

PSA dropping and % free ratio rising - why?
But I thought I might do another
PSA
test in the meantime but this time add the Free
psa
% ratio to the mix (we didn't do that in early Dec) So then my latest
PSA
test came back 4.74 and 12.7% free
psa
ratio. My original
PSA
in July was 8.1 and 7% free
psa
ratio ....

Next step..
PSA
UP to 0.2 8 months later. PSMA showed 4 hot spots all in pelvis. Started on zytiga and lupron same time as radiation started.
PSA
has remained < 0.04 for 17 months now. Considering the aggressive nature of my cancer, should I insist on a scan even when
PSA
<0.04 or wait till
PSA
bumps?

Rising PSA
I'm Poollover, Just got the results of a blood test and my
PSA
went up from 0.67 to 0.77. I'm on Orgovyx and Zytiga. I'm 86 years old. How concerned should I be? 8 months ago it was about 12. That was before medication. Also slightly anemic. What are my options? Terry

Rising PSA
In one year
PSA
has been rising. Up to 14 now. Dr. Aggarwal says no longer treat
PSA
# only scan results. Yet, CT with contrast is not definitive. Thoughts? Thank you!

PSA uptick
His
PSA
has been at/near undetected (<0.01-0.02) for several years, but recently there has been an uptick to 0.08 (similar on a recheck, so not lab error). Obviously still low-level, but concerning signal. Other labs are stable and bone scan a few months ago was stable.
