Low PSA levels are associated with greater prostate cancer-specific mortality among men with a Gleason score of 8 to 10
Conclusions: Among patients with high-grade disease, patients with
PSA
levels ≤ 2.5 ng/mL or
PSA
levels of 2.6 to 4 ng/mL appear to have a higher risk for cancer-specific death in comparison with patients with
PSA
levels of 10.1 to 20 ng/mL, and this supports the notion that low
PSA
levels in GS 8-10

PSA seems stuck around 1.0 while on Orgovyx and Nubequ
After a few months experimenting with Nubeqa as a monotherapy, and seeing
PSA
climb to around 4.0, I added Orgovyx to the mix. Initially
PSA
dropped to 1.07, but after several months of daily orgovyx and Nubeqa,
PSA
seems "stuck" in the 1.0 range.

His
psa

psa
check up and it has risen to 0.09 should we be worried ?

So, assuming that all 48cc is functional, my
PSA
density would be .08.

Looking for thoughts on next treatment after Docetaxel
. - Living in Canada, diagnosed in 2018 with 4+4 and
PSA
40. - On Zoladex since 2018 and still on - 35 sessions of radiation in 2018 and
PSA
dropped to <1. -
PSA
started rising (got to 40) in Summer 2020 and started on Zytiga -Scans showed 30+ mets to spine, ribs, pelvis but no soft tissue or lymph nodes

Why would PSA drop now?
His
PSA
consistently went up the entire time he was on chemo. Why would his
PSA
drop now? Is this common? It just doesn’t make sense to me.

PSA rising
His
PSA
was 100.4 when he started treatment. He had a TURP and found the cancer. My question is can he start having side effects after being on ADT for 2 years. His
PSA
started to rise in 4/20/21. He had a
PSA
of .44 and last visit was 3.35 which was 03/28/2022.

Reduced cancer-specific survival of low prostate-specific antigen in high-grade prostate cancer
Conclusions: Patients with a

<4.0 ng/ml had poorer the prostate cancer-specific survival (PCSS) than patients with a

4.0-10.0 ng/ml. Similar PCSS was found in patients whose
PSA
levels were 10.1-20.0 ng/ml in patients with GS 9-10 prostate cancer. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32109649/

PSA blip
Hi Everyone, It’s been awhile and DC has been doing great and his
PSA
has been coming down nicely. He’s on Lupron-3, Zytiga & Prednisone. He got his blood results back yesterday and his
PSA
blipped a bit by 0.5 ; from 5.6 to 6.1. Is that a normal occurrence this early in his journey?
