Still confused about PSA and Testosterone testing
Am I missing something in the relationship between
PSA
and testosterone levels? Thanks.

PSA Dropped after 22 days of Zytiga
Today I had a
PSA
test. My
PSA
dropped from 0.8 on November 1 to 0.44 today. I was not expecting such dramatic fall in
PSA
after only 22 days of Abiraterone . I will have another
PSA
test on January 4. Should I expect further fall in
PSA
?

177Lu-PSMA-617: Trial shows it's more effective than changing ARPIs
This analysis found that treatment with 177Lu-PSMA-617 prolonged radiographic progression-free survival, improved
PSA
response rate, and increased objective response rate compared to a change in ARPI, regardless of whether patients had received prior abiraterone or enzalutamide."

High risk vs. aggressive cancer
I understand the definition of high-risk prostate cancer (Gleason,
PSA
and/or spread), but that doesn't necessarily seem to be the same thing as aggressive cancer. How can aggressiveness be determined for high risk, localized cancer? Thanks for any insight and information.

First PSMA PET scan and aftermath
Even though in 2023 my
PSA
rose from .67 to 1.37, I pointed out that a PSMA scan would not change my treatment. We ran another Axumin PET in January, which was stable, if not better, than the one in September 2021. Finally, though, after
PSA
rose to 1.92 in June, we scheduled one for July 17.

Dental Issues on Finesteride
I'll keep having my
PSA
monitored every 3 months. Any thoughts on how my
PSA
is rising without scans showing activity?

Removal of contralateral testicle
Now waiting two months and then check
PSA
and Testosterone. Still hormone sensitive, but no further Lupron required. Looking forward.

Docetaxel
His
PSA
has risen to 47. Auxium scan shows pretty extensive growth in Retroperitineal Abdominal area. As far as scans go, nothing has shown up in bones or major organs. He had CDK12 and ARv7 loss mutations. What is the likelihood we will gain much by doing CHEMO? Thank you!!!

Remission
All
PSA
testing from oncologist has ranged from .04 to .05. Why not have my internist take my
PSA
yearly? Or is going to my oncologist for testing the better way to go?

Side effects from Xtandi monotherapy?
after failing multiple times on regular ADT plus SBRT and finally failing LU– 177 and Provenge, my
PSA
went on the rise again. I’ve been on mono Xtando for six weeks and not feeling well despite trying to exercise heavily. Going in for bloodwork tomorrow. What kind of labs should I ask for?

Any enzalutamide for chemo?
Tall Allen recently posted about a trial in which taking enzalutamide during docetaxel chemotherapy might help get the
PSA
down. Abiraterone failed for me recently and I’m re-challenging with docetaxel. I’m based in the UK, and NHS protocol doesn’t allow this.

PsA diagnose
I'm told I have
PsA
now and not PMR. On prednisone and MTX. 20 mg methotrexate and reducing prednisone down to now 14 mgIs having
PsA
mean that what I read on this forum for PMR not meaningful? This forum is so informative.

Dad 2nd BCR. Advice needed...
He has been off ADT for 1 year when
PSA
began to rise again. From 0.01 to 0.03 in less than 2 months then 0.05 after another 3 months. Is this indicative of an aggressive progression and metastasis?

Rise in Testosterone but not PSA?
He got some blood work today, and his
is still .06 but his testosterone has risen to 34. Is this a cause for concern? Also, it looks like anemia might be a new thing, low hemoglobin. Does this mean that the ADP isn't working anymore even though the
PSA
is down?

3,100 PSA!
After two (2) Pluvicto infusions, my
PSA
went from 2,000. to 3,000. I haven't had any hormone treatments for approximately six months, and was subsequently told my Dr. should have kept me on Standard of Care (SoC) right through Pluvicto.

He has been off any tx since Aug. 2023 and his last
PSA
, was the same as 6 mos. prior, which was and is .014. Pre any Tx,
PSA
was 10.46 I hope this info helps you. Obviously, he did not have to go on chemo, nor was it recommended by his Radiation Oncologist.

I know things have changed, just curious
I then went six years until I needed SRT, and have now gone 6 more years and my
PSA
is easing upwards again. Out of curiosity, with all the new scans, biopsies and such available, how would my case have been handled differently today ?
