Experiences with

Salvage therapy

hello all. Well my last two ( three month) PSA tests were 0.10 and MO. And RO. Recommend somewhat early salvage radiation treatment. A question I would like some input on is should I look into proton therapy over IMRT. I would need to travel to Fred hutch or Salt Lake City as I live in Reno Nv. Just

If we end up going down that road here is a recent paper on it. https://www.auajournals.org/doi/10.1097/JU.0000000000003890 (Post RT) Post RP https://www.auajournals.org/doi/10.1097/JU.0000000000003892 https://www.auajournals.org/doi/10.1097/JU.0000000000003891

(2) Are the side effects of salvage radiation therapy the same as if radiation was the initial treatment option? (3) What is the SOC for salvage hormone therapy (that is combined with salvage radiation) after RP? How long do you need to take hormones for?

ART= adjuvant radiation therapy, within 6 months after radical prostatectomy (RP) early SRT= salvage radiation therapy, after PSA ≥ 0.1ng/ml or 3 consecutive rises. Median was 0.2 ng/ml. Median 1 ½ years after RP.

I had a radical prostatectomy in 2021 followed by salvage radio therapy. My psa levels have been rising slowly since then and I wondered if there was any advice as to what it might mean and if there is anything I should be doing at this point?

And Salvage Therapy also in his case. No need to overtreat him. But should he not have hormones?! Anyone with similar experience? Just waiting and not knowing is so hard on us. I am soo close my dad and just gave birth the same time that he had his surgery.

The study found that [i]patients who received radiation therapy at PSA levels higher than 0.25 ng/mL had a 49% increase in all-cause mortality risk[/i] (95% CI 1.11-2.00, P=0.008).

Hello All I just completed the second BT procedure at MSK. Pain level was maybe 3 but mostly gone the next morning with some soreness. My next step I’m told is bloodwork in 3 months which I’m not concerned about. I am concerned about the 6 month MRI which could show if any cancer still remains. When

With prostate gone, it seems a higher portion of the bladder and rectum will be in the radiation target area when it comes to salvage therapy, and hence causing more side effects.

His MO wanted to see the third month's results in order to consider salvage radiation therapy. Luckily, third month's result came in at 0.012. Is it normal for PSA to fluctuate that much, from 0.006 to 0.029, then 0.012? Could this be a lab error? All tests were done at the same lab.

In the absence of salvage therapy (sRT), the median time from PSA recurrence to distant metastasis is 8 years. 2.

After surgery and salvage radiation therapy (SRT) have failed, it appears I'm headed for androgen deprivation therapy.

I had a radical prostatectomy that failed and then salvage radiation therapy that appears to have failed as well. A recent PSMA PET scan showed no signs of recurrent prostate cancer or metastases.

The medical way of saying the same thing: adjuvant or salvage therapy. I've seen 2 oncologists so far. Can you guess what they said? 1 said adjuvant therapy, the other said salvage. 1. Dr.

Over the last 2-3 months, my anxiety has gotten a heck of a lot better. I wouldn't say I'm "cured", but I can handle my panic attacks now as though it's a non-issue. I've made some massive changes to my life that have helped and I want to share them, on the chance it could help someone here. Something

A short overview history of the development, use, and specific characteristics of the most common targeted radiopharmaceuticals in use today, like Pluvicto, with much content focused on PCa. Very good article with a lot of development history most of us probably unaware of. The following paragraphs are

I haven't tried magnesium yet. I had a really good couple of weeks after starting to do jaw exercises and listened to some music therapy. Then I had an emotional weekend so have been upset and a bit stressed, followed by loud events at the football and in super cars and the loudness is back to its usual

Hello all, I am hoping that someone can advise me please. I have atopic eczema and have recently been diagnosed specifically with having atopic eosinophilic asthma. I am now having biologic therapy for my asthma, specifically, tezspire once a month. So far I have had three injections. It's early days
