I can't answer for @jeffmarc, but I for one very much hope we'll have a cure for advanced prostate cancer some day.

The thing is, even if it happens, that drug won't reverse any damage the cancer has already done. My spine, for example, won't rebuild itself; someone else's damaged kidney or pancreas won't regenerate; a honeycombed pelvic bone won't suddenly become strong and resistant to breaking again; etc. Once cancer spreads, it leaves an irreversible trail of destruction through your body.

That's why it's so valuable to catch cancer early, when it's still confined to the prostate.

Pluvicto works great for 33% of the people. Works Midling for 33% and doesn’t work at all for 33%.

You also have to have your cancer expressing PSMA for it to work in about 10% of people don’t have that.

After Pluvicto there is Actinium. Pluvicto is a beta particle. Actinium is an alpha particle and has not been approved for you in the United States yet but is used in Europe. It is more effective and can be targeted more narrowly. The problem is it sometimes totally kills peoples salivary glands, and they can no longer produce saliva. I know someone who tried it went to Austria and was treated there, but he had some non-PSMA cancer and it didn’t work.

They are working on targeted therapies that work on the individual. Something like this may eventually cure prostate cancer completely but it’s very expensive since it’s only designed to work on one person.

Yes, there will be a cure one day, quick question as well we live long enough to see it
