How high must the PSA levels be before cancer can be seen in a CT scan?
If with a
PSA
of 0.09 they would not show, then I might as well cancel those scans until such a time that my
PSA
level is high enough to warrant them.

Promising, especially for people with LBD mutation: NEJM Evidence publishes results from Phase I/IIa CYPIDES trial with ODM-208
A decrease in
PSA
(prostate-specific antigen) levels of 50% or more occurred in 14/19 (73.7%) patients with AR LBD mutation and 2/23 (8.7%) AR-wild-type patients in phase I, and in 24/45 (53.3%) patients with AR LBD mutation in phase IIa.

Unsure of best option in early prostate cancer diagnosis.
I have had
PSA
tests annually for 10 years and in Oct 2023 had an elevated 6.42 result. Was referred to a urologist, whom performed a DRE. There was prostate enlargement but no tumor discovered through DRE. After discussing several options, I decided to have a biopsy on Nov 21, 2023.

Starting the journey Interested in comments Gleason 5+4 Met to Lymph and Maybe ribs
I have just started this journey, and am deciding on treatments now. 60 years young with a Gleason 5+4
PSA
hovering around 7. My PSMA PET showed one lymph near pelvis for sure, and possibly a rib neat top on left side.

Treatment options
PSA
was 77 in Jan and dropped to 23 after starting ADT treatment and already feeling better with much less urinary symptoms. I was advised to start radiation treatment but doctor advised to wait for PSMA PET scan (Still waiting for scan).

Pancreas problems after RT for prostate
My
PSA
levels have dropped and progress seems OK. I have also had M.E. and fibromyalgia for over 25 years and, as part of that, IBS. Since starting the hormone therapy and radiotherapy I became more and more constipated and my tolerance of foods (especially hi fibre) increasingly difficult.

Any Curative Treatments after RT as Sole Primary Treatment?
PSA
has been rising, but not officially nadir plus 2, but the old 3 rises in a row has been reached. If there is nothing curative to be done, do you just wait until nadir plus 2 is reached or something shows up on a scan? is there some way to be proactive? Tall_Allen didn't you have initial RT?

Switching to Lupron?
PSA
undetectable (<.064), all scans negative. Will switching to a six month Lupron shot cause testosterone flare?

Add Nubeqa to Orgovyx?
PSA
was 3.78 in Dec 2023. PSMA PET then showed cancer growing in prostate, shrinking in pelvic node, but spread to an abdominal node. I have started ADT with Orgovyx (relugolix) and want to add an ARI. The urologist wants to use the ARI Erleada (apalutamide).
