Treatment Options PSA Increasing While on Lupron
Should another ADT like Zytiga be added if
PSA
continues increasing by a small amount? Say to 0.40. Or should I wait until
PSA
rises considerably. If
PSA
shows sign of going down, should I continue only with Lupron until
PSA
is undetectable (<0.1)?

PSA < 0.1
Not <0.1, then you would know what your
PSA
number really is.

ART Management BCR : PSA n PSA Doubling Time Feb23 Commentary
Most important was not
PSA
but
PSA
doubling time.
PSA
doubling time 15 months, The conclusion is that
PSA
doubling time must be considered along with
PSA
to determine when men should be scanned. Once
PSA
is at 2.0 ng/mL, 100% of men are positive.

psa

PSA Rise
Just received my
PSA
results. Fifth (5th) over the last 12 months. The numbers went from <.02 four months after RT to .04 today. I had no further intervention since RT except for exercise and diet. I am trying to figure out the way ahead. Any thoughts??

PSA from secondary deposits!
I had a radical prostatectomy in 2012 and my
PSA
levels until about a year ago were undetectable. I was then on annual
PSA
blood tests, but now they have put them up to 3 monthly as the
PSA
has risen, although still very low at around 0.2 .

Xtandi (enzalutamide) alone is superior to ADT alone at preventing metastases in "high-risk" recurrent men
"High-Risk"recurrence was defined as men who have had primary therapy (prostatectomy or radiation) but have had rising
PSA
but no detectable (on bone scan/CT) metastases yet and T≥150 ng/dl, and: •
PSA
doubling time ≤ 9 months, or •
PSA
≥ 1 ng/ml post-prostatectomy, or •
PSA
≥ nadir+2 ng/ml post-primary

Treatment Update
My
PSA
remained nearly constant at 0.30. 10/17/22 0.286 1/20/23 0.321 4/24/23 0.294 If
PSA
has gone even by small amount, my MO would have ordered PSMA CT scan. Is it advisable to have the scan now because
PSA
has not decreased significantly.
