Update on Treatment
PSA
level, after ADT started, has gone down from 9.2 to .02 (Ultrasensitive
PSA
). No side effects thus far (apart from hot flashes). Waiting game starts. ADT will continue for 2 years. Doc says 40% chance of recurrence.

Cancer Risk vs %Free PSA Ratio
Here's a plot of the Risk (probability) of getting prostate cancer versus the % Free
PSA
/ Total
PSA
ratio, for three different ages: 55, 65 and 75 y.o.. Interestingly, the PCa risk decreases as the % Free
PSA
ratio increases.

A question about radiation resistance
(such as
PSA
drops, but not significantly) I did have PSMA immediately prior to SBRT that only showed
PSA
at site of lesion.

psa rising
After a second rise in
psa
from .04 to .21 in three months we decided to meet with a medical oncologist to discuss next steps. I am inclined to get a scan to locate pc but it may be too low.

Pluvicto and PSA
Hi Gents, Prior to starting Pluvicto my
PSA
was 29.29, after round 1, 23.67, after round 2, 14.47, after round 3, 17.70. I then had a PSMA-PET scan. It showed all bone metastases except one were either receding or gone. After round 4, my
PSA
is now 21.51. I don’t get it.

Slowly rising PSA
My
PSA
went down to 0.08. Now within 3 months it climbed to 0.23. My doctor isn't concerned about it. I asked for a PET to see if something has woken up again, but she denied it (I'm living in Italy). Also she said no to radiation. I'm 74 and still very active. Should I be concerned?

PSA rise
On Dec 6 my
PSA
was 0.04 then on March 19 it was 0.21 so this indicates a rise in Mets. Is this too low for a scan? What should be the next steps?

Time to adjust my course, any suggestions?
Psa
is on a steady increase again. I was taking extandi for a year up until 11 /23 over that yr my
Psa
had dropped from 29, 11/22 to 1.4 ,11/23. I was having significant SEs, brain fog mainly so I decided to switch to nubeqa (daralutimide) even tho there was a steady drop in
PSA
on extandi.

If PSA is Suppressed by Doublet ADT, Will Salvage IMRT Cause a PSA Rise?
His radiation oncologist said it may take several months before the
psa
calms down, so he would like to see him in July. My question is that, since he is already undetectable due to Lupron/Abi/Pred, would the radiation treatment cause a
psa
rise despite being on the hormone therapy.?

new PSA
my
PSA
rose from .04 in Jan to now .21 so it’s moving up. I assume this is still too low for a scan to determine where pc is at. I was undetected for 2 years after radiation of pelvic area.

PSA

PSA
11.26 3rd infusion..
