Editor’s Pick: Don’t blame it on the prostate cancer… two Gents report tenderness but is it something else?
Topics Discussed
Newbie prescribed singlet HT when doublet was SoC – don’t switch w.3 months left but change docs; is cystoscopy the right procedure?; IHT after 3 years – but what bout shortness of breath; is tenderness from exercise or cancer?; is HT the right first step on BCR; insurance declines Axumin; starting AMG509 xaluritamig trial; stable on mono daro at 86; just finished 6th Pluvicto for foamy cell PrCa; don’t fret over tiny PSA moves; is chest tenderness down to HT or a previous cancer?; not eligible for Capitello trial – needs 2nd opinion on intensification
