Editors Pick: The passing of Jim Barnes; ADT know-how from Richard Wassersug (bn)
Topics Discussed
Passing of Jim Barnes, age 65 — his mutations (P53 and PTEN) may have made actinium/lutetium treatments ineffective; a delicate spot radiation gets moved earlier; after five years of remission, PSA drifts just high enough to be worrisome; blood clots in lungs after his final Provenge infusion — “I actually could feel bumps”; scary bright spot in his PSMA PET appears to be a prostate cyst; OK to start Casodex and Lupron at the same time?; a mini-webinar from Dr. Wassersug on ADT preparedness; Dr. W says metformin does not appear to forestall ADT-induced diabetes; and he updates us on his still-unproven but intriguing estradiol treatments — note, please, that they’re not a way to avoid ADT symptoms!; new team is eyeing PSA before starting radiation; testosterone still trailing after 2-year treatment holiday; at Carbone, we like Dr. Lang — also take advantage of Carbone’s palliative care, and be honest with them.
