At least a dozen people on the weekly advanced prostate cancer Ancan.org group are on it and almost all are castrate resistant.

Tell your doctor you want nubeqa instead of Xtandi. The doctor knows you know the difference maybe you can get them to give you the drug with the lesser side effects.

Pluvicto sounds like a good chance to get the cancer controlled.

Yes! I’ve watched a couple of their videos on YouTube and wondered if that was you when I watched last nights meeting earlier today. I thought about popping on but some seem to knock a certain physician and we have received wonderful care from him, so I’ll just continue to watch the videos once they are posted. Good advice about asking about Nubeqa.

Exactly Originally, I think, the -lutamides (and Abiraterone) were intended primarily for metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer, following the older approach of gradual escalation of treatment (start on ADT, and when that stops working, add a reception inhibitor, then chemo, etc., step by step).

But then a series of trials like TITAN and STAMPEDE demonstrated that it's far more effective to hit the cancer hard up right away, while it's still castrate-sensitive, so they extended some of those second-line treatments to mCSPC as well.
