Editor’s Pick: Here’s how to investigate if there’s a personalized/precision treatment for you (rd)
Topics Discussed
Exhaustive personalized/precision treatment pursuit; two successive Gents show us opposite sides of how a GU med onc beats a community practitioner; monotherapy enzalutamide; two more Gents manage their prostate cancer but not their heart issues; Dr. E is frank with an advanced patient but doesn’t reveal her cards just yet; our Gent thinks Guardant shows ‘weird’ results… or maybe they’re not so weird?; Pluvicto trumps olaparib in research and in practice; should spot RT metastatic directed therapy yield to systemic hormone treatment?; understanding the FDG scan

Mitoxantrone plus prednisone was previously accepted as standard chemotherapy for this stage of disease; however, docetaxel-based regimens have been shown to both palliate symptoms and prolong survival in hormone refractory prostate cancer.t.net

Editor’s Pick: PSA rising but nothing on the PET scan – the tumor was hiding behind his bladder. (bn)
Topics Discussed
After beating back his cancer many times, he’s now neuroendocrine and wonders about options besides platinum (immuno, DLL3, alpha) — Dr. Rahul Aggarwal is likely to have answers; Tylenol on top of Orgovyx and darolutamide may have been one too drug too much for his liver; struggling to work remotely with Dr. E’s office team — you’ll need “a heavy dose of patience”; after 6 unhelpful chemo rounds, now seeing a good lutetium response, but unresponding tumors may be neuroendocrine; maximum out-of-pocket expense is the important number in choosing a Medicare Part D plan; trusting a broker for Medicare selection, and are Advantage plans a bad deal for cancer patients?; despite rising PSA, PSMA scan looked clear…turned out the tumor was hiding behind the bladder; good feedback on Dr. Elisabeth Heath; 90-day Lupron break to “catch my breath” — is restarting now a lost cause?; Lupron finally over, he’s switching back to a real bike from his e-bike…but when do the hot flashes stop?

Chromogranin A (CGA) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) levels are biomarkers for NEPC. Also, synaptophysin and DLL3 (Delta-like Ligand 3) is positive in 76% of NEPC.
