never went to zero...Levels remained low, and he had a PET scan, which

Just finished my second Pluvicto round.
Increase
PSA
can be the result of dying cancer cells, right SUV numbers in the 20s and 30s, so that would make sense, right?

Tripple therapy - ADT+Lynparza+Xtandi
My
PSA
was 0.74, but now it has increased to 2.3. All other tretments and history are in my bio. The last Pet-choline done in Feb. 2024, did not show any mets, probably because at that time my
PSA
was 0.6. I have scheduled new PSMA Pet scan fo 4/25/24.

PSA reduction after Estrogen Patch Therapy
Here's a revised plot of
PSA
reduction due to castration from Estrogen Patch therapy. The previous version had the wrong time scale. That has been corrected in this version. The total time is 3 months, after which the
PSA
and testosterone both flatten out versus time.

Rising PSA
Recently while on Lupron & NUBEQA
PSA
continues to rise. Now at 10.1 and Testosterone nondectable. PSMA/PET/CT scan last weeks states no metastases present. We meet with Dr. Aggarwal next week. Last month at our visit he told us at this point “Scans” are the compass not
PSA
readings.

rising PSA and 'light' advancement of mets in hip bones. Diagnosed stage 4 in March 2021.
ADT dropped the
PSA
quite a bit. We started seeing Dr. George at Duke March of 2023 and he had my husband on a round of docetaxel. After that the many bone mets and some on lungs 'disappeared'. Now it looks like they are starting to grow back.

PSMA PET Scan Frequency?
My husband’s last and only PSMA PET scan was 1.5 years ago showing 6 mets in small bones after
PSA
consistently rose a year after radiation. The standard ADT treatment was prescribed and it’s working. (His
PSA
is .04 now, thank God).

PSMA PET Scan results
We were devastated to see some bone metastasis was uncovered but knew this was likely due to his high
PSA
score (150) and Gleason score of 9. If anyone could provide any advice and or encouragement, that would be much appreciated.

Active Surveillance?
I have had 2 biopsies and 5 MRI's and countless
PSA
tests. First bx showed 3 cores at 3+3 and 2 cores suspicious, confirmatory bx a year later showed 1 core at 3+3 and 1 core suspicious. My
PSA
has risen from 3.9 in 2018 to 12.7 and back to 11 this year.

Rising PSA -
Called MO and had
PSA
, urine, testosterone etc… labs done.
PSA
showed increase to 0.1. We realize this is extremely low but understand my
PSA
was not a good indicator of extent of my cancer from beginning. Scans done (CT and Bone Scan): showed increased size of prostate with mass.

Enzalutamide Plus 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors for Castrate-Sensitive Prostate Cancer
The results are promising, showing a median
PSA
progression-free survival that was not reached, with many patients maintaining low
PSA
levels for several years. Despite side effects like fatigue and gynecomastia, the treatment is well tolerated.
