PSA after SBRT to T7
A recent PET/PSMA showed a single PC tumor on T7. My PSA at the time was 1.1 I was initially treated 5 years ago with ADT, Radiation to prostate and chemo and my PSA nadir was in the range of .6 to .8 over the last few years. My recent SBRT treatment was 45 gray over 5 treatments. One month after

Enthesitis and Psoriatic Arthritis
I’m interested to hear from anyone who suffers from enthesitis with PsA? Does this condition cause the joints to swell? Does it raise the ESR/CCP markers for inflammation?

Do CRPC cancer cells always or usually act different then CSPC cancer cells, or do they sometimes act similar to CRPC?
If someone is castration sensitive (on ADT pause) and their psa is 40 (for example), and they show very little suspected cancer (5mm spot for example) on a PSMA PET scan or an Axumin scan, then is it likely that castration resistant cancer show very little (5mm), as well, on a PSMA PET or Axumin scan

Results are in (Update 2/17/23)
So recurrent after radiation and 2 years ADT. PSA pretty close to 3 by now. Bone and CT scan done because my cheap insurance company denied the Pylarify until after the other 2. I don't mind the extra contrasts, barium or whatever hell else they gave me. I keep asking is it nuclear. Only the bone scan

PSMA PET/CT scan: 18F vs. 68Ga
My post-RP BCR has creeped up to 0.56, so after discussing this with my oncologist, I decided to get a PSMA PET/CT scan before deciding on a treatment plan. My local radiology center uses the Pylarify (18F PSMA-DCFPyL) tracer, but I'm thinking I might get a better result with the newer Illuccix (68Ga

Elreada: minimal effective dose
Hi, PSA has gone from .32 in July 2022 to .52 in October to 1.99 in January. Worried that decapeptil is failing. NHS consultant has been on at me for two years to go on abi etc. Have resisted as unlike the Moffitt (which makes sense to me) in Tampa the SOC in the UK is to pursue maximum tolerated

Three strikes and...
After prostate removal in 2014, prostate bed radiation in 2016, and whole pelvis radiation in 2021 plus Lupron, my PSA is .2. I'm still receiving Lupron injections and my PSA never dropped below .1 even after whole pelvis radiation based on a PSMA scan that targeted two avid spots. My MO has never been

Rising PSA after radiation and ADT
Hi All, I was diagnosed with PCa in April 2022 (Gleason 3+4). My PSA was 28. I was given a 3 month shot of lupron in June 2022. In August I had 20 sessions of IGRT - Image guided radiation therapy. These are PSA levels: 0.56 (Sept 2, 2022) 1.6 (Dec 27, 2022) 5.3 (Feb 14, 2023) Should I be concerned

Lutetium 177
I have had two infusions. PSA down 63% in a month, 2.02. I'm not getting another until psa goes up twice. Has anyone experience of progression, and over what period?

Undetectable PSA but new bone uptake
I had my 3 month scans and blood work as part of arasec trial (Lupron + darolutamide). The good news - PSA is <0.01. Previously diagnosed M1b. The bone scan however picked up “new focus of uptake in lateral left 11th rib”. Radiologist labeled it indeterminate, doc believes it to be false positive

Undetectable for 8yrs 3mo with Advanced PC.
I got my blood lab test last Friday, all values looked good, especially the <0.008 PSA, Undetectable. That is actually 8 years and 3 months now, or 99 months undetectable! That’s pretty good for an old dude who was told in 2012 with Stage 4 PC with bone metastasis, that I may have only three years left

Monthly Firmagon Shot
I had my monthly Firmagon shot today. September will be two years since I started Firmagon. My PSA went to undetectable and has stayed there. All scans have showed nothing. My MO said we'd continue Firmagon until September (that will have been two years) and then stop. We'll check my PSA every three

Focal Ablation doesn't work (again)
Cryo joins HIFU, FLA, and IRE as substandard focal thermoablation therapies. Aker et al. reported (below) that on biopsy 18 months post-treatment, 35% still had clinically significant prostate cancer (only 46% had no prostate cancer), and that neither MRI nor PSA were good indicators of treatment failure

Supplements or vitamins that work against Zytiga
Are there any supplements, medications or vitamins that work against Zytiga? Or remove Zytiga from the body making it ineffective? My dad was prescribed Zytiga and has been taking it for 2 months; however, it did nothing to bring down his psa. It saddened us that an effective medication like Zytiga

Maybe a breakthrough in PCa detection?
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2023/02/230207191546.htm It sounds good... more accurate than PSA testing.

PSA after RP.
Hi all, I had my first blood test today, 10 weeks since RP. It was the standard PSA test and not the ultra sensitive test. The results were <0.1 I guess that means it’s between 0.00 and 0.09. That’s good right? I have a ultra sensitive PSA test on March 1st. Where do I want that # to be?

BAT initiated - PSMA/FDG scans negative
Oncologist very surprised, PSA 1.5, either PSMA or FDG scans should detect metastases. Anyone has an explanation? Lots of micrometastases not detected? Anyway, MO initiated BAT.

Update to surgery or no surgery
I want to thank you all for your advice. My husband and his Drs have decided to wait on the surgery. He will be on Lupron every three months and starting Xtandi this week. His pain is almost gone just a slight pain in the neck. I hope we will have some scans to see how the tumor is doing. He will have
