How long does it take for ca 125 to drop with caelyx/ carboplatin?
Dearest, Hope all good. Do you have any idea, maybe based on personal experience , How long the tumour market ca 125 started decreasing with caelyx/carboplatin? Just to have an idea, as my ca 125 went up from first infusion ( only caelyx) was ca 125 = 345, to second infusion( now combination carbo+caelyx

Hi All, My father (63) just got diagnosed with “high risk (low volume) locally advanced” Grade 5 prostate cancer. He has been fortunate to quickly seek two opinions, one of which was at a COE with a group of radiation oncologist, medical oncologists and urologist. They confirmed through PSMA PET,

Concern - At 4 mo on Lupron/Abi, Testosterone hits 40
While PSA was again <.1 yesterday, testosterone jumped to 40 ng/dl or 1.4 nmole/L, which is a big move toward the 1.7 danger zone for faster movement toward CRPC ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5472467/ ) , and I am interested

MRI Scan with Pacemaker
I had a colonoscopy on Monday but they couldn't do a full one as they found a malignant mass. I then had two CT scans and they contacted me yesterday to say they want to operate. However, one of the scans has now revealed I have a lesion on my liver and the hospital want to do a MRI scan. They have

Bronchoscopie advice
Hello everyone I was recently due to have a bronchoscopie but cancelled at the last minute. I was told that I would have a local anesthetic in my nose and that they would be working on my lungs for 15 minutes. The idea of someone playing around in my lungs for 15 minutes whilst I was awake was very

How long did it take you to get diagnosed?
Do you think your diagnosis of lung cancer was delayed in some way? Did it take longer than you expected to get a diagnosis and be treated? We are a group of researchers at RAND, a nonprofit nonpartisan research institution, leading a study to learn more about why and how delays in diagnosing lung

Earlier surrogates of overall survival to speed up new drugs development
there are statisticians (using AI) that are trying to find even earlier predictors to speed up the progress but it seems that progression free survival could already save 2 years for a new drug to be available on the market https://www.pcf.org/news/new-prostate-cancer-foundation-funded-research-to-speed-up-prostate-cancer-clinical-trials-worldwide

RT results look good
After a bout of sepsis from a directed biopsy, 5 weeks of RT and 3 months of Eligard, my tests show undetectable PSA. I'm still dealing with side effects (interrupted sleep, urinary and bowel differences) but happy to report it looks like, for the time being, that my stage 2/3 PC may have been beaten

Just a quick question.
Hi everyone and thanks for all your help so far. As the chemo has now stopped working for Martin we are looking for any other options that might be available to give him more time. His MO has organised a liquid biopsy to see if there are any mutations that could be treated, which might help. We

Anyone got some info or insight about this thing. I am diagnosed for 1 year wit JAK2 ET. Platelets are steady in the range

Dad's PSA now 1800..nothing works..Is this the end??
Hey all, It pains me to write this as I'm probably scared to hear the truth. I've posted a few times, but this time, it's different. Dad was in hospital for a spinal cord compression - new activity on c3, new mets to spine and PSA soaring to 1800. Those dreaded words, "all options have been exhausted

I persuaded my onc to start me on this new drug in April. Since starting I have had great results. My first set of labs was great, so we backed off the amount of drug due to diarrhea. I had one set back on my 2nd blood tests but adjusted my meds and am back to lower values on tumor markers. My

PSA 6 months after RT
Here is a review of a presentationby Dr. Ravi at ASCO 2023, regarding measuring the PSA at 6 months post radiation treatment, for all risk groups. He found that the 6-month post-RT PSA was highly prognostic of 5- and 10-year rates of metastasis free survival (MFS), Overall Survival (OS), and prostate
