It’s a long one but there are segments that are “ breaking news” and amazing updates that are immensely positive for all of us. Dr Scholz announced at the end that oligometastatic prostate cancer is curable! Stampede study results and more. Dr Kwon amazing as always. Take a look.

Some of the interesting things said during the PCRI Conference.

Grade group one HIGH volume likely to proceed to treatment.
5-10% of GG1 within 5 years before progression
Within 10 years 51% of Gleason 6 on AS have to be treated.
High volume is >5 cores found with Gleason 6.

Undergo holep prostate treatment and over 100cc prostate PSA dropped from 11 to 2

MPS2 test is a urine-based test that helps assess the risk of prostate cancer in men. It is a more advanced version of the original MyProstateScore (MPS) test

Prostox a test see if SBRT is too much radiation

PNI and extra capillary extensions do not predict metastasis

2.7mm is smallest cancer spot a PSMA scan can see

Salvage radiation is only successful in 1/3 of the cases. Use PSMA pet test to find it before salvage and do SBRT. When PSA rises but can’t find it in the PSMA pet do a MRI it will be found in Retroperitoneum or lung with high frequency

Seeds for metastasis were already there when surgery was done, waited to grow.

More IMRT than SBRT financial reasons, it’s just more profitable to do all those sessions.

Scholz
Having a metastasis doesn’t mean you can’t be cured. He has people he has just Zapped their metastasis, and when they came back, did it again. In some cases people don’t come back, Somethings he stressed a lot.

Optimum trial ultrasound to see metastasis
