post radiation. Currently on ADT. PSA slight increase ?
his
PSA
was sitting 0.03 but has jumped to 0.08. Is this any cause for concern? I took it as a positive as it sounds extremely low but now second guessing ..

Castrate Resistant
I know that patients who were started at beginning with combo of, say, Lupron plus abiraterone acetate are declared castrate resistant when
PSA
rises in certain ways and/or progression is shown on scans.

Non metastasis castrate resistant
When you are on ADT and become Non metastatic Castrate resistant and your testosterone levels are below zero, what is the cancer feeding off to cause the
PSA
to still rise? Hoping for your replies so as to give me some understanding. Thank you.

post RO incontinence
Hi, I am a bit over a year post RP. (3/23/23) My 8 and 12 week
PSA
were .31 and .49. I started 8 weeks of radiation completed in 11/23. My question is to those who suffer from incontinence after 1 year of surgery. I have been to a specialist, and he requested I record how many pads I use per day.

PSA still undetectable and testosterone doubles to 1.6
So no movement on my
PSA
but interesting to see testosterone creeping up ( 11 months since my last Zoledex injection so 8 months from the first missed ADT injection).

after EBRT …monitoring?
I’d imagine routine blood panels, monitoring
PSA
, but should I expect another PSMA PET scan at some point? A MRI? Thanks in advance .

psma findings
So I guess I run another
psa
? Monitor I guess? Anyway I’m happy for sure. I guess we will stay on top of it with psma and psas. Surprised my mo hasn’t called yet lol. She last said she was intrigued when I had the regular pet ct that didn’t light up so I wonder what she thinks now.

BCF after 9 years post proton therapy
I'm thinking of having another
PSA
at a different lab in a week or so just to rule out lab error. I will be having the PSMA at Duke so I had the Uro's office schedule it for Feb 29 the day after
PSA
retest so hopefully no further waiting for the scan.

diarrhea flares ?
Had his last shot July 7th and his
PSA
was .02. He had a lot of issues post radiation, with diarrhea and gas, but that subsided and he has been good for a while. All the sudden these symptoms are happening again. When he had his last Lupron shot in April he did not experience these symptoms.

6 months after radiation
I went for blood work and my
PSA
has dropped significantly and I do not have an infection. I’m wondering what the issue could be…seems like it would have cleared by now?

0.04 PSA
Well after over a year of undetected my
PSA
has risen to 0.04. I will meet with oncology in a few weeks to discuss next steps. Perhaps a scan.

Brachyboost and PSA progression free survival question
PSA
progression free survival as per Japanese trial as well as ASCENDE RT Canadian trial for this particular scenario is about 10-15% at 10 years.” The progression free survival rate seems very low at 10 years.

Rising PSA 1 year after RALP
I've been getting ultra sensitive
PSA
tests every three months. These are the last three scores: 0.015 0.017 0.026 (First
PSA
test after surgery was <0.1) I am worried. Frightened, actually. Margins were not clear on my surgical biopsy, though gleason was only 3+3.
