Editor’s Pick: Addressing the unusual: Low PSA with high-grade prostate cancer. (bj)

Topics Discussed
Importance of getting a second reading/opinion on your prostate cancer biopsy results; addressing the unusual: low PSA with high-grade prostate cancer; identifying risk factors that can push you from intermediate-risk to high risk prostate cancer; understanding how gentic testing help determine the best treatment options, espcially when family history exists; evaluating high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy as a primary treatment or boost to radiation; comparing transperineal and transrectal biopsies with a focus on lower risk infection and better patient experiences; determining when a patient should move from active surveillence (AS) based on rising PSA or new biospy results.

  • Steve Schuler (Seattle) sent: 7:40 PM

    I just wrapped it up a month ago. Now I’m on nothing, no ADT either. I was on Lupron for 2 years, abiraterone also for 2 years, but started a year after the Lupron started (there’s a story there, but later), and then on Estradiol for most of the time I was on abiraterone. But now on nothing. For most of the E2, it was .05mg (50 microgram) patches 2 per week. So a box of 8 lasts you 4 weeks. With GoodRX, those were $13/box

    A word about the dose level of the patches: that’s the estimated dose delivery of a patch per day. The amount of E2 in the patch itself is higher, something like 600 microgram is what I remember, but then it releases slowly at an ESTIMATED rate of 50. But that release rate is highly dependent on the amount of fat under the skin, etc. So your milage will vary

Learn from AnCan’s Emperors of Estradiol… PRICELESS video chat and discussion

Learn for AnCan’s Emperors of Estradiol… video chat and discussion

 

AnCan would bet no other prostate cancer support group has the experience and knowledge around using estradiol.

For those unfamiliar, estradiol is a female hormone that is found in men in small part; just like women carry a low level of testosterone (T). In large levels, estradiol (E2) can suppress T and effectively do the work of androgen deprivation, without many of the side effects of ADT. It is cheap and effective and has been around many years. So cheap that many pharmaceutical companies are concerned it can replace a primary, far more profitable ADT agent… like Lupron, Eligard, Firmagon or Orgovyx. Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor, makes the argument better than I can.

It offers a much higher Quality of Life, and the recent PATCH trial has shown its efficacy and non inferiority. The major disadvantages are 1) getting a doctor to prescribe it since it is not FDA approved and must be prescribed off label. And 2) gynecomastia (breast enlargement) that can be painful and socially embarrassing, although it has remedies.

Two of the  most outspoken and well recognized advocates for E2 are peer users associated with AnCan. Dr. Paul Schellhammer, a former President of the American Urological Association, is on our Brains Trust. Dr. Richard Wassersug is on AnCan’s Advisory Board. Both have used E2 for more than 20 years, while AnCan member Al Latimer outlasts them both – but not together.

Listen to this outstanding discussion… yet again AnCan’s information is PRICELESS!

We have other E2 resources on our AnCan website:

AnCan is grateful to the following sponsors for making this recording possible: Bayer, Novartis, Johnson and Johnson, Myriad Genetics, Telix, and Blue Earth Diagnostics.

Active Surveillance (AS) for low-risk prostate cancer involves unique challenges compared to other treatments. This online support group is designed for men and their caregivers who are currently on or considering AS. We hold four meetings monthly, recording only the second and fourth sessions. Our discussions cover a wide range of topics, including anxiety management, biopsy experiences, and the decision-making process around continuing or discontinuing AS. Newcomers are given priority to share their experiences, so we encourage you to join us.
