Editor’s Pick: Advocating for what you want may not be advocating for what’s best for you. (bn)
Topics Discussed
PSA in the 60s, but Gleason 3+4 — time for a PSMA scan; SUV maxes of FDG PET and PSMA PET are unrelated and can’t be compared; don’t underestimate the chills and aches when starting zoledronic acid; Keytruda surpasses his expectations — a Christmas miracle? — but another man fails to respond; surprisingly good response after switching from daro to abi; docs agree to drop ADT — but advocating for what you want may not be advocating for what’s best for you; ADT is an easier ride when you’re knowledgeable and prepared; reminder: no cold turkey with prednisone; could monotherapy be a safer choice than ditching hard-to-tolerate ADT?; doc balks at genetic testing that could uncover therapy options

I made it an hour, gents, and wanted everyone to know about the Reclast side effects. I’m going to take Dr. John’s advice and hop off the call to get rest. Good night!

From RADICALS-HD trial: After a median follow-up of 9 years, the study investigators found that 24 months of ADT were superior to 6 months (HR 0.77, 95% CI [0.61, 0.97]; 72% vs 78% at 10 years) with respect to the primary endpoint of metastasis-free survival (MFS).

I managed my ADT + Abi for 5 years and it did not slow me down. Being diagnosed at 73 and now 79 has slowed me down more. Aerobic Exercise has been the key even when my body said it was exhausted, will power got me on the bike which promoted recovery. jim

Chromogranin A (CGA) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) levels are biomarkers for NEPC. Also, they are synaptophysin positive
