Trying to make sense of things
Can anyone explain why some people have Gleason 8 PC, high
PSA
and have metastatic disease, yet some with Gleason 9 and 10 have low-ish
PSA
(as far as PC goes) and no obvious metastatic disease (confirmed by PSMA)?

Phase 1 trial shows promising results for fractionated dose of 225Ac-J591 in PCa treatment
The fractionated dosing achieved promising results with 95% of patients experiencing any
PSA
decline and 71% achieving a PSA50 response. In contrast, the multiple cycles cohort saw 72% of patients with any
PSA
decline and 28% achieving a PSA50 response...fractionate good!

What is my best treatment option?
11/2023 1.3
12/2023 5.0
1/2024 20.0 I currently feel great with no pain, fatigue etc. I know I now need to resume treatment. But what? 1. Resume ADT. I was still hormone sensitive when I took a treatment vacation. 2.

Doubling Times and PSA acceleration - Part II
The DT is the time interval over which the
PSA
doubles. In this example, the
PSA
at point
A
= 10 ng/mL, and
PSA
at point
B
= 20 ng/ml. The time between points
A
and
B
is (15-12) = 3 months.

PSA doubled in last 30 days after 4 months stable since Provenge. What's next?
Update:
PSA
remained roughly 1.7 to 1.8 for last 4 months after Provenge but yesterday's 30-day
PSA
test revealed a jump to 3.190 so something is growing quick. I have been off of all ADT since finishing fourth LU-177 injection five months ago and one SBRT treatment 4 months ago.

PSA after chemo # 4
Hi My husbands last chemo was # 3 and
PSA
was 0.14, he just got the results from Chemo # 4 and it was at 0.12. This is the slowest decline if you look in the profile Iisted all his
PSA
results. Should we be worried that this last one barely moved ? Or is this slower decline good news?

Abiraterone seems to be working
So I have my next Lupron injection at the end of May and my next MO appt is in Aug/Sept, assuming my
PSA
stays good. I'll go in for one or two
PSA
tests before the MO appt just to make sure my
PSA
is behaving. My MO has put up standing orders for me to get
PSA
tests whenever the mood strikes me.

T never recovered after ADT and 44 EBRT sessions.
Undetectable
psa
up until 6 months ago. Then went to 0.1. I had been taking Androgel ( 2 pumps daily) my MO declared that I was " out of remission" and I then stopped the TRT. Since then, I've had two
psa
tests at 3 month intervals.
Psa
is now at 0.03.

Radiation after Docetaxel
In December his
PSA

PSA
jumped to 6. The scan showed that many of the metastasis in his bones shrunk are almost gone.

Low-T is associated with worse Prostate Cancer Specific Mortality probability after 6 months of ADT: Part II
These plots show that the probability of dying from prostate cancer (after
PSA
failure) is significantly worse for men with Low-T. Since this data is [i]after
PSA
failure[/i], we can assume that the men in this cohort are
castrate-resistant.

Could This Alternative Regiment Be Decelerating My PSA?
Between Summer of 2021 and Summer of 2023--two solid years--my
PSA
went from 11.5 to 15.3, roughly two points per year.

Recent dropping of guideline "Post from your own experience".
Currently, I am one of the participants in discussions about surgery and ultrasensitive
PSA
testing. I have considerable experiences with both and share mine.
