Are bone and CT scans required quarterly if PSA and testosterone are basically zero and no symptoms?
I have stage IV prostate cancer with a spot on my lung being the only known spread of my cancer. After my chemo regimen, my CT and bone scans have been clean for a year now. And my blood work is perfect at the moment. I am on Zytiga and getting a Lupron shot quarterly. My doc still wants

Does ADT work for Gleason 9?
About to start ADT for Gleason 9 (5+4) for locally advanced prostate cancer, followed by IMRT in 1-2 months. (Plan to ask about HDR boost). PSMA Pet negative for spread but MO had another radiologist look at initial prostate MRI suggests extracapsular extension along neurovascular bundle with possible

Initial Phase 1 Data on MB-105 for Patients with PSCA-positive Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer
From what I understand PSCA is highly expressed in prostate cancer cells but also in other kinds of cancer and also in other tissues (in small amounts), and its production increases as the disease progresses, making it a better target for later stages (but this is my speculation!). What is important

Carnosine as potential initial PCa treatment
Researchers have discovered that a naturally-occurring molecule could potentially be an effective first line of treatment against prostate cancer. Nottingham Trent University (NTU) scientists investigated the anti-cancer properties of carnosine, which can be produced in the body and is also found

If PSA is Suppressed by Doublet ADT, Will Salvage IMRT Cause a PSA Rise?
Hello everyone, My husband is nearing completion of his extended pelvic salvage IMRT with boost to retrocaval lymph nodes. His radiation oncologist said it may take several months before the psa calms down, so he would like to see him in July. My question is that, since he is already undetectable due

Docetaxel Failing
Greetings from Inverness in the beautiful Highlands of Scotland! I would like to share my journey with you and hopefully get some advice on future treatments. In December 2022 following diagnoses of advanced prostate cancer with multiple bone metastasis I started zytiga + prednisone and 6 monthly triptorelin

10th year
Ten years ago I had my Gleason 9 prostate removed. PSA was .1 for a while. It crept up over .2, and I began taking lupron. The drug brought PSA back down to >.01 for a year or so. As the level started going up again, I received whole pelvis bed radiation, moving PSA to undetectable. After a year or so

xtandi beginning to fail?
Seven months ago my PSA was 0.06. Three months ago PSA at my URO’s office was 0.11. I asked him if xtandi was beginning to fail me, he would not give me a answer. March 11th PSA at my MO’s office PSA was < 0.1. MO was happy with that number. I get checked again the 25th of this month at my URO. I

PSA, total
Hello. I know this forum is about advanced prostate cancer. I’m really hoping I’m not there yet. I had a RP June 2023 I just got the results from my forth PSA test the first three were a post prostatectomy PSA test and all three were 0.02 this last one was a PSA, total. That’s what the Urologist wanted

Abiraterone vs Nubeqa
I've been on Lupron only for 5 years, metastatic to bones. Generic AA would be the next cheapest step, but I notice my new Medicare drug plan shows $2,800 for a year's worth of Nubeqa. Any advantage to going with Nubeqa other than possible difference in side effects?

Expanded label sought for 177Lu-PSMA-617 in prostate cancer: about time
I have already done the taxane part and I would like to see how 177Lu performs as first line...but this is also interesting, it seems more effective than a change in ARPI in castration resistant setting "Data also showed that a PSA decline of at least 50% was more than 2.5 times more frequent with 177Lu-PSMA
