Prostate cancer and Zytiga and ZERO PSA

Yes and yes. It is quite common to have undetectable PSA’s while on the drugs. The problem is the long term side effects and taking them for as long as 2 years will mostly likely cause irreversible ones. If your treatments were for a cure you would need to stop the drugs and monitor your PSA and have scans thereafter to confirm the success or failure.

Thanks for your input. Do you have some experience with Abiraterone? If so was it successful?
I agree with your assessment and hope that zytiga is discontinue soon.
The studies don't seem to mention "CURE" when mets are present but the "PA" at Mayo Phoenix did use that term in October. We'll talk about it at my Jan 30 Appointment .
Thanks for responding.
