Number of radiation treatments for prostate cancer
I’m new here and recently diagnosed for prostate cancer. Focused on radiation therapy as likely treatment option. What are pros and cons of number of treatments when considering 5 treatments over two weeks versus 25 treatments over five weeks?

Once Hopeful Prostate Cancer Drug Fails Phase II Test
Does anyone have a list of the drugs that were fast tracked for PCa? Might be a good place to look for trials. "RV001 is an immuno-oncologic drug that presents to the immune system as an antigen. It works by stimulating the T-cells to spot and destroy cells that carry the RhoC protein, which is over-expressed

Experiencing a rash while on Leuprorelin (Prostap, Lutrate) hormone therapy.
I am just finishing 37
radiotherapy
sessions and have been on hormone for 5 months. I had a couple of irritating spots under one of my arm pits for the past 2 months. In the past few days a rash has spread across my chest and neck and groin. Anyone else experience this during treatment? Thanks

How to determine what is a normal PSA after radiation therapy?
As I understand it, when PCa is treated with radiation therapy, the theory is cancer cells are more vulnerable to radiation because they divide more rapidly than normal cells, and they do not repair damage from radiation, while normal cells can. The situation seems to be complicated if the person has

Anaplastic Oliogodendroglioma grade 3 (AO3)
No

as I was considered too ill at the time for it. When I’d recovered a bit, they put me on a full strength course of temozolomide for the next eight years.

However I was told that because I have lupus I will have a high risk of lung fibrosis if I have the

and therefore the surgeon has recommended I don’t and I have a mastectomy instead.

So hormone therapy, brachytherapy (look it up), external beam
radiotherapy
and a break from work all followed and apart from three weeks recovering from brachytherapy, I continued running which provided a period of calm in my disturbed world.
