What Next After Xtandi Fail?
Since then,
PSA
has been jumping around, but trending upward. End of 2023, it was at .67. Feb 2024,
PSA
up to .87. Yesterday, it was 1.16. Have Oncology appointment tomorrow. Time to talk what comes next. (We have been expecting this.) DNA testing is definitely a go. But what comes next?

Not great news for hubby today. What is next?
Oncologist today said to continue the Abiraterone for another month and see where we are at with
PSA
results. Was up again today. He did have 6 rounds of targeted radiation last month, so would that cause
PSA
to go up. We were hoping the Abiraterone would lower the
PSA
.

Radiation after Docetaxel
In December his
PSA
was .61. In February it jumped to 2.3. He went for a PET scan. He went back to the doctor today his
PSA
jumped to 6. The scan showed that many of the metastasis in his bones shrunk are almost gone.

Treatment Decision
PSA
is now zero, Testosterone is also zero. We noticed some mental/cognitive decline in my father and the doctor suggested we stop Orgovyx now at 9 months instead of going the full 2 years course. What would you recommend we do? Thank you!

stopping Abiratrerone
I was diagnosed with PC in Jan 2001 with Gleason of 4+ and a
PSA
that never got above 10. From a PSMA scan, I have bone metasteses in skull, ribs, backbone, hips, pelvic bone. WE believe that in my case
PSA
has never been a very useful measure.

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.

Oncologist visit today
We are going to monitor
PSA
every 6 weeks to watch for doubling time. Next meds may be abiraterone and prednisone, but that still remains to be determined.

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.

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.

Casadex, on and off
During the last part of going on 3 years my
psa
started rising. They took me off Casadex and put me on Orgovyx which did not work so they put me on injections of lupron once a month. My
psa
again started rising on lupron injections. Now They have put me on nubeqa to lower
psa
. Start that tomorrow.

Good News! Pluvicto Update
The news seems promising: On 28 January (after docetaxel, but before Pluvicto), my
PSA
was 36.2. After 2 rounds of Pluvicto on 8 April, my
PSA
had dropped to 14.5! So, I am remaining positive! I have a follow up PSMA-PET scan scheduled 17 May.

Dutasteride increases PSA Doubling Time after PSA Recurrence
These two Kaplan-Meier plots compare Dutasteride (0.5 mg/day) to Placebo in a randomized, double-blind trial from 2012 of 187 men who have progressed to
Failure. In the upper plot, Dutasteride increases the
Doubling Time
from, for example, 9 months to 18 months (factor of 2X).

PSA rockets up to 344
My

PSA
did start to rise quite soon, into double digits, but this is by far my highest
PSA
ever. Dr.
