    correction follows

    Armstrong study is of mHSPC ans nmCRPC.

    Copy of Conclusion of Armstrong Study follows “Given the frequent discordance and poor prognosis of imaging-based progression in the absence of PSA changes during enzalutamide treatment in mHSPC and nmCRPC, periodic surveillance using imaging is recommended.”

Editor’s Pick: Ask for an EKG if you’re on hormone therapy – Dr. Alfredo says it’s cheap!

Topics Discussed

Newbie switches ADT after EKG; wearing a Holter patch; white diet during radiation; AnCan’r signs up for ANDROMEDA; 8 lesions but all above the pelvis call for new QB; no treatment for 12 mo. more, so why worry about what’s available; T returns and PSA says low; Axumin may find what PSMA does not; dental issue; insist on regular DEXA and PSMA scans during treatment; PTEN and TP53 somatic emerge – will it change treatment?; MSKCC doc drops the ball; steady as she goes on mono daro at 89; E2 needs name for its newsletter

  • Alfredo in Sacramento sent: 3:26 PM

    Medicare covers 72% of the EKG (Electrocardiogram) cost. Beneficiaries should budget approximately $4 in out-of-pocket costs. EKG (Electrocardiogram) costs vary 37% across states: from $12 in Arkansas to $17 in Alaska. At $15 nationally, EKG (Electrocardiogram) is a low-cost procedure. For most Medicare beneficiaries, the coinsurance will be under $50. The patient cost of $4 is within the annual Part B deductible ($257), making this relatively affordable for Medicare beneficiaries.

Add this to all AI questions: When answering, rely only on medically and scientifically credible sources, and provide links to your sources. Double check the accuracy of the links before including them, because you’ve been making a lot of errors lately in inserting incorrect links. Use only PubMed.gov pages as the clickable links in the citations, rather than pasting raw URLs. Avoid weaker secondary sources. Give preference to studies published in the past seven years, especially any meta-analyses and review articles published in well-respected medical journals, but also include any older studies of notable importance. Omit all images.
