10-year update still shows no benefit to ART vs early SRT
ART
= adjuvant radiation therapy, within 6 months after radical prostatectomy (RP)
early SRT
= salvage radiation therapy, after
PSA
≥ 0.1ng/ml or 3 consecutive rises. Median was 0.2 ng/ml. Median 1 ½ years after RP.

help after a prostatectomy
After six months my
psa
is undetectable. I am looking for feedback from men going through the same situation. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Does orgasm return post-ADT
This is a whole new low for me in this experience and I’m really starting to understand why most agencies recommend against
PSA
testing — it sends us all into this nightmare.

Need info on blood in urine
Had prostate removed Sept. 2019 and had radiation winter 2020/2021 because
PSA
was going higher. Radiation is causing blood in my urine periodically. Now that I am older the blood in my urine seems to occur more often. I read on the internet that if I can urinate, don't worry about it.

Radium 223 offered
What can we expect, as I have read that Radium 223, does not take
PSA
down.If this treatment 'kills the Cancer cells' then I don't understand why
PSA
dosn't fall ? Could be offered more chemo, after Radium. So is Radium 223 worth having ?

Brachytherapy boost HDR vs LDR +/- ADT
A bit of my background: 50 years old, Gleason score of 4+3, a
PSA
of 11, decipher is low, and possible extracapsular extension. 1) I know what LDR and HDR do, but what are the differences in terms of their long-term side effects?

Antihistamines for hot flushes
Commenced quarterly goserelin injections and
PSA
became unmeasurable. Side effects fatigue plus hot flushes roughly hourly day and night plus increased night urination. GP prescribed antihistamine which we agreed on as 10 mg Cetirizine morning and 10 mg Phenergan evening.

225Ac-PSMA-I&T works well even after Pluvicto in small trial
It's small number of heavily-treated mCRPC patients, but 42% of those who already had Pluvicto had a
PSA
reduction of ≥50% from 225Ac-PSMA-I&T. Surprisingly, no Grade 3 Xerostomia. Phase III trials will likely follow.

Rising PSA
My
PSA
has been undetectable (<0.01) for all that time. This week it was .02 I’m going to redo the test to make sure. Then my urologist wants to refer me to a radiation oncologist. Has anyone had any experience with this. It’s really been hard trying to sort this all out.

Please advice
My latest
PSA
on 6/11/24 was 1.06 up from 0.65 on 4/2/24. I have a meeting with my MO on 4/26 to discuss the next step. I was taking Opdivo immunotherapy from 2/2023 to 2/2024 for bladder cancer. so far my bladder cancer is in check so now I can focus on my PCA. Should I get a PSMA pet?

I am scheduled for a follow up

PSA
after 5 years undetectable. Based on the ATM finding will this change any future therapy. Richard

MO recommendations at Mayo, Moffitt?
Hello - After 7 months of ADT (Lupron/abi) my MOs are not offering anything but continuation until my
PSA
fails, so I'd like to network more; so please let me know whom you think are the best at these two places. Thanks in advance.

I like it, but not too much: Phase 2 trial of a DNA vaccine (pTVG-HP) and nivolumab in patients with nmHSPC
"No patients met the primary endpoint of complete
PSA
response; however, 4/19 (21%) patients had a
PSA
decline >50%. Median
PSA
doubling times were 5.9 months pretreatment, 25.6 months on-treatment (p=0.001), and 9.0 months in the subsequent year off-treatment.

Maybe because of "careful" patient selection, but still great: PSA Undetectable in First Patient Cu-67 SAR-bisPSMA
"The first patient with prostate cancer dosed with 2 cycles of 8GBq of 67Cu-SAR-bisPSMA has reached undetectable prostate specific antigen (
PSA
) levels using PET" https://www.targetedonc.com/view/
