Robotic nerve saving surgery for prostate removal

As I mentioned previously about 1% of prostate cancer patients do not produce PSA. As a result PSA can be very low, even though they have a serious case of prostate cancer. The biggest problem is that it’s difficult to figure out when the cancer is coming back since the PSA doesn’t change. It requires PSMA PET scans more often.

@jeffmarc Thank you so much for your help again. I am meeting with my urologist next week. I will ask about the PSMA PET scans as well. Do you suggest a list of specific questions I can bring to her ?
