PSMA Scan results from March 5, 2024

ONCOLOGIC FINDINGS:

History of metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer status post interval radiation therapy to T3 and right 3rd rib with:

- Post surgical changes prior prostatectomy

- Essentially resolved prior PSMA uptake in right 3rd posterior rib and T4 vertebral body sclerotic lesions.

- Increased size sclerotic lesion with new low to intermediate PSMA uptake in the right femoral neck (5-469).

- Faint sclerotic changes in the right pubic bone, right acetabulum without PSMA uptake consistent with treated metastatic disease.

-New ill-defined sclerosis in the superior L2 vertebral body (5-332), focal sclerosis in the right iliac wing (5-410) and left 6th rib (5-241) with low PSMA activity.

INDETERMINATE FINDINGS:

New punctate sclerosis in the manubrium (16-120),

ADDITIONAL FINDINGS:

PET:

Physiologic PSMA uptake is noted in the lacrimal and salivary glands, nasopharynx, vocal cords, gastrointestinal tract (especially duodenum), spleen, liver, both kidneys, ureters and the urinary bladder, and testes.

For SUV reference:

SUVmean/max parotid/salivary glands 11.9/14.6 SUVmean/max right hepatic lobe 2.8/4.3

SUVmean/max descending thoracic aorta (level carina) 1.1/1.6

PSMA-expression score*:

High (3): SUV parotid/salivary glands Intermediate (2): SUV liver

Low (1): SUV blood pool

HEAD AND NECK: Thyroid atrophy

CHEST:

Lungs: Stable scattered pulmonary micronodules. Bilateral lower lobes reticular scarring, pleural-based architectural distortion and atelectasis. Lymph nodes and Mediastinum: Subcentimeter intrathoracic lymph nodes. Ovoid calcified lesions in the anterior mediastinum, stable. Pleura: Left upper lobe calcified pleural plaque.

thoracic aorta and coronary arteries . Left superior vena cava,draining into coronary sinus.

Other: Mild bilateral gynecomastia.

ABDOMEN/PELVIS:

Liver: Stable punctate calcification in the caudate likely represents a prior granulomatous disease.

Gallbladder and bile ducts: Unremarkable.

Spleen: Stable punctate calcification in the spleen likely represent prior granulomatous disease

Pancreas, adrenals: Unchanged mild prominence of the main pancreatic duct, measuring up to 6 mm.

Kidneys and ureters: Stable left simple appearing renal cysts. Atrophic left kidney with cortical scarring. Mild left pelvocaliectasis without frank hydronephrosis.

Bowel: Scattered colonic diverticula. Jejunal diverticulum.

Bladder and reproductive organs: As above.

Lymph nodes: As above.

Peritoneum: Unremarkable.

Vessels: Mild to moderate atherosclerosis.

Abdominal wall: Postsurgical changes in the anterior abdominal wall. Status post bilateral inguinal hernia repair.

MUSCULOSKELETAL:

As above. Multilevel degenerative changes of the thoracolumbar spine. Chronic rib fractures involving the right posterior fifth and sixth ribs. Retention sutures in the left proximal humerus Stable L5 spinous process hardware in place.

2. New punctate sclerosis in the manubrium, indeterminate. Recommend close attention on follow-up.

Xtandi Monotherapy doesn't work as well as Xtandi+ADT. It's a trade-off.

Thanks TA. So even though Orgovyx failed last year, maybe start taking that again along with the enzalutamide?

Yess.

Orgovyx never really "fails" - its job is to lower testosterone and it will always do that.

just out of curiosity. The side effects have been so severe even when vigorously exercising, what would happen if I took a few days off of enzalutamide?

Well Dr Kishan did the super dose of SBRT in three days on five tumors from my hip bone to a couple in my lower spine and ribcage. Kishan did say that if any more tumors popped up again that it’s useless to ever treat with SBRT again. Even with my PSA on a slight rise. I’m still taking the enzalutamide, but experiencing terrible side effects like fatigue and severe lower back pain. Has anybody else had these problems with enzalutamide?
