Life Expectancy with Prostate Cancer Diagnosis
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 07. 2024
- PCRI’s Executive Director, Mark Scholz, MD, emphasizes that men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer generally have strong reasons to be optimistic about their life expectancy. He goes on to explain why this means that men need to consider quality of life when deciding between treatment options (or no treatment at all) since these are decisions that men will be living with for many years.
:04 Many men who are newly diagnosed with prostate cancer are curious to know what their life expectancy is going to be and they are usually pessimistic given cancer’s reputation. Prostate cancer, however, is a unique form of cancer and the outlooks are generally quite good. A study by the American Cancer Society found that the 5-year survival rate is 99%, 10-year is 98%, and 15-year is 94%.
:47 Even more reason to be optimistic is that the survival rates from the American Cancer Society’s study were based on outcomes from men who were diagnosed over 15 years ago. Technology has improved (and will continue to improve) so that men diagnosed in 2019 and beyond can expect that the survival rates published 15 years from now (which would include them) will be even better than the ones that are published now.
1:18 Some people may know someone who died young from prostate cancer, and so they may doubt the optimistic outlook that these numbers suggest. There are two situations in which a person would die unusually young from prostate cancer. First, a man may not be screening and so he would not be diagnosed and treated until the disease is at an advanced stage. Second, some men have rare forms of the disease that are especially aggressive and difficult to treat.
2:06 Since survival rates for prostate cancer are generally so good (and keep getting better), men who are newly diagnosed need to carefully consider their treatment options and how they will impact their quality of life since these are decisions that they will live with for many years.

My dad has metastatic prostrate cancer. Please pray for him ❤️
Hello Holly, of course. We are so sorry to hear that. Please let us know if we can help: pcri.org/helpline
Prayers
My father was diagnosed about 4 months ago... stage 4 prostate that has spread to bones. 1-3 years with treatment of everything goes well....
Fuck!!!!!
I'm right there with you. My mother committed suicide when I was 7.... I don't wanna lose my father he just retired... life is bullshit.
Hang in there, sending prayers your way.
God bless you and your whole family
May God Bless Him and you. I also have Metastatic Prostate Cancer.
It is my turn tomorrow so scared I’m 68 years old and very nervous about the prognosis, my prayers to everyone with this problem 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
My hubby too
✝️📿🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This doctor is one of the good ones. He does not push aggressive treatment. He backs up his advice with objective fact. Thank you Dr. Scholz.
My uncle had it and he lived till he was 89. He enjoyed a great life.
How old was your uncle when he was first diagnosed with Prostate Cancer?
He passed away from it a year ago, but I think he was diagnosed about 20 years ago. @@user-vv9np5iq7n
@@PendeltonWhiskeydifferent situation I imagine.
I have it hope I live that long 😊
My father went through hell. It was a nightmare that I can't forget. His father was the same. That's why when I was diagnosed I was determined to completely kill it, which I have done.
My granddad died of Prostate cancer back in 1984, he was 56 at the time, would’ve turned 95 yesterday, my dad was only 16 when his dad died. May he rest in peace
🙏
Just got to know my dad has metastatic cancer.he never told about it to anyone but my mom and his brother.
I cannot cope with this .please pray for my dad
My partner as got this. He starts radiotherapy soon. But has his second CT scan tmrw. Praying all is well. And he beats this. 💝💝
I just survived prostate cancer. I was treated by the SCCA Proton center in Seattle and it was the best thing I ever did. My father died of prostate cancer and I'm pretty sure his father also died of it, so I was paying attention to my psa count and got the tissue samples taken just as soon as my psa count quickly doubled from 6 to 12.
Prior to treatment my PSA count was 12.35
Three months after my last treatment my PSA count was 0.21
and three months after that my PSA count was 0.1
Naturally I couldn’t be any happier with the results. I have no sexual or bladder issues. It’s a miracle. It’s just an amazing thing and the facility, doctors and staff are awesome.
Good luck
@@PendeltonWhiskey please, what treatment did you undergo?
@@NiOko2013 I’m interested in what treatment Pendeltonwhiskey had also. Did you ever find out?

@@tumalo710 Proton Beam Radiation
I had two treatments of HR Brachytherapy in Dec. of 2020. My highest PSA was 27. One month after treatment, 8.7. Six months after, it was 2.1. (Over 25 years ago, it was 3.3). BTW, the biopsy was the worst part---I wish they put you out for that. No symptoms, but I can tell I'm not 15 anymore. (As I read the comments below, I realize that I'm damned lucky it was caught before it spread. Best wishes, good luck, and prayers to all of you).
Thank you for sharing your story.

@@maryshute1953 thank you
Diagnosed in 2009 and am still cancer free! My doctor was proactive to stay on top of it.
You were fortunate to have a good doctor. I want to remind everyone to stay on top of your PSA counts and not depend on your doctor to catch your cancer in time. Not all doctors are as vigilant as others. Doctors are very busy people and have a lot of people in their care. YOU on the other hand only have yourself to watch out for. Get those PSA counts and keep track of the changes.
My father is all I have left to look up to, I just want him to be with me as long as he can. He’s such a good person.
We hope that he does well. If you have any questions, feel free to contact our helpline at pcri.org/helpline.

Dr. Wanted to thank you , for sharing knowledge and wisdom. My father was diagnosed 10 years ago and is in XSTANDI and Trelstar , he is 88!!
His PSA now is 3.8
Its really amazing to hear such a wonderful assurance from a medical expect like you doctor. You really uplift my spirit and well being. May our ALMIGHTY GOD gives you more wisdom
This is very encouraging and underlines the importance of focusing not just upon recurrence but also the full range of possible side effects. Ones that could last the remainder of my life. When was first diagnosed my gut reaction was "Get it out, over and done with". Having lost a sibling to lung cancer (she had been radiated for breast cancer) I was initially dead set against the dangers of radiation and wanted surgery without exploring the full range of treatments. What I discovered was my uneducated opinion. I am grateful to Dr. Scholz and PCRI for helping to educate myself through this maze. THANK YOU.
May I ask how are you doing now. I had surgery then 39 radiation treatments. Undetectable PSA 1 year later. Still scary going in for blood work every 6 months. Hope you’re doing well. And you are a fine piano player.
@@tumalo710 Thank you! As far as the PC progress.....in lieu of prostatectomy I opted for Testosterone blocking (18 months), high dose brachytherapy followed by 23 consecutive days of external radiation. Happy I took time to study alternatives before commiting. What I find scary are the secondary effects of some of those options that I could easily have chosen. I had Gleason 3+4 with perineural and periprostatic invasion, which means some of the cancer was outside the gland. The prospect of cancer spreading to lymph and on to bone was fear enough to make me opt for what I did. Now....all radiation complete, at 14 months of ADT testoterone blocking....my body will start bringing the hormone back in October when the drug Eligard (6 month efficacy per shot, three shots) wears off. Latest blood test showed very low testosterone
@@rolfeliason5950 Good luck to you.
I’ll see my next PSA I August. I’m 18 months out from (SRT) salvage radiation. So far so good. No real side effects as well.

The Cancer Research
Early research connected tomatoes with reducing the risk of prostate cancer but the evidence for this link has weakened as the quality of research has improved. However, the complexities of the types and timing of this cancer’s development, and tomato amounts, forms and possible synergy with other foods, leaves many unanswered questions about potential benefits.
Interpreting the data
After a systematic review of the global scientific literature, AICR/WCRF analyzed how non-starchy vegetables and their nutrients affect the risk of developing cancer.
Evidence categorized as “convincing” or “probable” means there is strong research showing a causal relationship to cancer-either decreasing or increasing the risk. The research must include quality human studies that meet specific criteria and biological explanations for the findings.
- A convincing or probable judgment is strong enough to justify recommendations.
- Tomatoes are a non-starchy vegetable. There is probable evidence that non-starchy vegetables DECREASE the risk of:
----- Mouth, pharynx, nasopharynx, larynx, esophagus, lung, stomach, and colorectal (aerodigestive) cancers
Evidence categorized as “limited suggestive” means results are generally consistent in overall conclusions. But because there’s not enough evidence or some limitations in the research, it’s rarely strong enough to justify using it as a basis for recommendations to reduce the risk of cancer.
- Limited evidence suggests that non-starchy vegetables may also DECREASE the risk of:
---- estrogen receptor-negative (ER-) breast cancer
---- bladder cancer
- Limited evidence suggests that foods containing beta-carotene may DECREASE the risk of
---- lung cancer
- Limited evidence suggests that foods containing carotenoids may DECREASE the risk of:
---- lung cancer
---- estrogen receptor-negative ER- breast cancer
---- Limited evidence suggests that foods containing vitamin C may DECREASE the risk of:
•••• cancer (in people who smoke) and colon cancer

You are my kind of doctor.
I had a radical prostatectomy 20 years ago with a PSA 15, Gleason 7. Biopsy found 6 tumors but they were encapsulated. Robotic surgery was just being done and my urologist knew nothing about it so I had open surgery. So much has changed with treatments and survival rates seem to keep increasing. I have encouraged many men to get a PSA, even though the PSA has limitations.
Do you have symptoms
No. @@BimboTV
I'm now 40 odd. I remember a drawing I did as a child in school for a project on climate change which was called global warming at the time it was of two burger buns with a cow in the middle. point is our generation had an awareness of health fitness and climate change as part of our education. some left it there and some were inspired so continued to educate themselves on these subjects. As a result I have eaten healthy and exercised regularly my entire life whilst keeping any habits I obtained along the way firmly in check. My generation has individuals like myself who have spent their entire life maintaining a level of heath and fitness. Yet it seems previous generations are making assumptions that we have lived a similar lifestyle to them thus far... Abundance is something I have never had, my entire life has been pure moderation...
Thank you and God bless😊

Although, since they discovered it during a different procedure, it is possible that other parts of your prostate could have a different Gleason score. A 3T multiparametric MRI is the best option for characterizing the whole gland.

Excellent point about new technologies emerging in the next 15-20 years. I receive Google Alerts concerning the latest news about "prostate cancer research" which is very informing. I suspect I know about the new advances well before most urologists do, and certainly mine. In my lay opinion the advances are beginning to snowball downhill as the technology improves. Following Moore's Law the advances will only happen faster as time goes on.
I got diagnosed about 6 months ago and I thought life was over. But my doctor put me on hormone therapy and my PSA fell from 191 to .81 in two months. Now, I’ll need these shots for the rest of my life and the hot flashes are the worst. But to me the lack of sexual interest and the hot flashes are a small price to pay. My girlfriend has worked out ways to get me interested in sex and though it takes extreme focus we think it’s just as good or even better than before. My out look is so much better and I’m not thinking about dying every single day.
What stage did you have?
I'm glad you found a way to cope!
But I am wondering, do you really become that disinterested in sex ?
But you don't have erectile issues from hormone therapy do you ?
@@giovannamoro8564 they never told me, but it has spread to my spine. My PSA is zero after hormone therapy.
@@dappa311 yeah, I’m coping well now, but when I was first diagnosed I was a mess for a couple of weeks.
I’m on hormone therapy and yes, sex doesn’t interest one as much as it used to and I was a very sexual person. You’ll also have DE simply because your testosterone is nonexistent. But for me the worse part are the hot flashes. You can preform sexually with the help of ED meds so that’s not a big problem. But , the hot flashes you have to live with.

Theres a useful clip on you tube that compares survival rates with different grades of prostate cancer and with treatment and without treatment. At certain stages and ages its only a couple of % better off with treatment (and its side effects) than compared with no treatment. Treatments do provide a better % survival rate at certain levels of cancer..
My spouse diagnosed in 2007. He had a prostatectomy. 2021, bph was almost 600. Seeing oncologist and being treated with hormone shots and bone strengthening shots as cancer has spread to bones. Taking chemo pills also. What do you think of this outcome? They are monitoring levels to see if his levels are changing. No new levels yet taken as this is pretty recent.

I am not sure if they will be able to tell you what to expect as far as outcomes, since it varies so much from person to person, but if you give them more information, they may be able to tell you more about monitoring with PSA and scans, treatment options that may be available to him or that may be available to him in the future if his current treatments fail, or any other concerns that you have. You can find our contact information here: pcri.org/helpline
I believe from what I found on internet can do chemotherapy injections into the bones every 3 months. Look what they can do with radiation treatments. Technology is more advanced.
My father diagnosed prostic cancer just 2 weeks before..aged 75 years old, PSA is 1639 and stage 4.

Tomatoes are the fourth most commonly consumed fresh vegetable and the most frequently consumed canned vegetable in the American diet. There is emerging epidemiology data supporting the connection between increased tomato consumption and reduced risk for both cardiovascular disease and prostate cancer.
Here we will summarize the nutrient and the phytochemical content of tomatoes and tomato products, and how these bioactive components might act together to modulate disease development.
Recent animal studies have investigated tomatoes, lycopene, and prostate cancer using the N-methyl-N-nitrosourea and Dunning rat models.
These animal studies also suggest that diets containing tomatoes may decrease the risk or the progression of prostate cancer. Due to the frequency and the extent of tomato consumption, the supporting epidemiological and animal data, which connect increased intakes with decreased cancer and cardiovascular disease risk, tomato's role in the American diet is of undeniable importance as part of a healthy diet.
more importantly . Stop Vaxing !
I wonder what the relative life expectancy is for those who opt for no treatment? Without a control group there is no way of knowing how effective the treatment is at extending life and improving quality of life. That said a true control group would be difficult to find because the vast majority of men with PC have one or more biopsies which is obviously an invasive assault on the prostate which could be exacerbating the disease and even lead to metastasis due to "needle tracking" which is apparently acknowledged in the urological literature.
Sadly in the UK screening is not routine for men over 50 and the ten year survival rate is only 77%. 22% are only diagnosed at stage 4. A national screening programme would surely save thousands of lives

My psa was 14.90 In Jan 2022 and 3 months later was diagnosed with prostate cancer. That 3 months time was the most anxiety I've ever had in my life . 2022 was a trying yr as too what to do about my diagnosis. Radiotion,surgery, or surveillance were my options. I almost went with surgery but decided to drop 55lbs and change my diet . Tell your father in law if possible to try that approach and pay attention to what he puts into his body. Stay away from processed foods and preservates. Good luck
My doctor said I have a non aggressive prostate cancer, is that good or bad? Do I need to have it removed? He suggested robotic prostatectomy.
John,
Not sure what your doctor meant by that, but you can contact our free helpline to speak with a patient advocate who is trained to answer patient questions if you would like to discuss. Our contact info is here: www.pcri.org/helpline

Respected doctor. Iam 35 years old....past 7 years i had chronic bacterial prostatitis with cpps..2 years before my psa value is 1.32...how many years once i taken psa test doctor? Also i had no family history of prostate cancer.but if Symptoms came means i feared about prostate cancer..
My fathers psa went from 5 to 25 in a few weeks. Is there any chance there was an error and his psa should be redone? He is 80 and feels great, but can’t urinate normally.
Lab errors are possible, so it is worth having it done again. PSA can also rise from benign conditions like BPH (gland enlargement), prostatitis (inflammation of the gland), and a number of other reasons. BPH is most commonly associated with urinary symptoms--prostate cancer typically does not have symptoms until bone metastases develop in other parts of the body--but all these conditions can occur simultaneously, so PSA is not consider definitive and is only used to determine whether further investigation is warranted. It is common for men to have elevated PSAs without having aggressive prostate cancer (it is common, however, for men to have Gleason 6 prostate "cancer" which is not life-threatening). If the high PSA persists, the logical next step would be to get a 3t mpMRI if possible. If suspicious lesions are discovered on an MRI, then a biopsy would probably be advised to determine whether cancer is present, and if so, whether it is life-threatening cancer that requires treatment. If you would like to know more, you are welcome to contact our free helpline. Our contact information is available at pcri.org/helpline.
Only a biopsy can confirm. PSA tests are inaccurate.
Diagnosed with Gleason 7 but nobody will tell me if it is aggressive. Makes me think it is but they are afraid to get me upset. Upset anyway. Getting radiation treatment with Cyberknife. Maybe if it works, then they will tell me. But I doubt it.
I was diagnosed with Gleason 7 last week. I would like to talk if your interested. My email is kkkevinski@aol.com. Interested in sharing info. Kevin
I think it may be 7-10 is aggressive. My dad was diagnosed in February 2017 with Gleason 9, it was locally advanced to the bladder, just a small invasion. Sadly he’s at the end stage now and it’s very sad to watch.
My husband just got diagnosed a few days ago with a Gleason score of 7. We just got married this year. This has been so hard to take. They are recommending surgery.
I was a 7 it has spread to bone I did seed radiation and then radiation on prostate 6 years now doing boxtox on bladder because have damage 3 time a year I take lurpon now this 4 shot come up soon not in bone now. Its gone. I watch my diet I run and walk every day you can beat this I will with God's help keep going don't give up. Mike
I just survived prostate cancer. I was treated by the SCCA Proton Center at the University of Washington Hospital in Seattle and it was the best thing I ever did. My father died of prostate cancer and I'm pretty sure his father also died of it, so I was paying attention to my psa count and got the tissue samples taken just as soon as my psa count quickly doubled from 6 to 12.
Prior to treatment my PSA count was 12.35
Three months after my last treatment my PSA count was 0.21
and three months after that my PSA count was 0.1
Naturally I couldn’t be any happier with the results. I have no sexual or bladder issues. It’s a miracle. It’s just an amazing thing and the facility, doctors and staff are awesome.
Good luck
Gud day doc, may i know the causes of prostate cancer? Tnx for your response
Hello, our prostate cancer helpline may be able to help with your question. Please feel free to contact us here: pcri.org/helpline
I want to remind everyone to stay on top of your PSA counts and not depend on your doctor to catch your cancer in time. Not all doctors are as vigilant as others. Doctors are very busy people and have a lot of people in their care. YOU on the other hand only have yourself to watch out for. Particularly if you have a family history of Prostate Cancer, get regular PSA counts and keep close track of the changes. When your PSA count gets to 6, that should set off all your alarms, then get a biopsy ASAP
Which treatment do you recommend?
Proton beam radiation is the best and most expensive treatment
I am more interested in the non treatment options. At 68 with a Gleason Score of 7 and a PSA of 32.00 ng/mL I have to consider the costs, time, and side effects of treatment. Would some men be better off doing nothing? In my case I am feeling great, I have no symptoms, I do high intensity interval training. I am not afraid of dying; I don't care about how long I live but I do care about the quality of life I have while I am alive.
Not sure if your gleason 7 is 3+4 or 4+3 in terms of the dominant type of cells, but I've been trying to follow after treatment (did HIFU), a whole food plant based diet. I'm far from perfect but hoping it helps reduce possibility of recurrence. But like you, was very concerned about quality of life (was 59 last year when diagnosed). Had so many surgeons tell me I must remove my prostate (I had 2 small tumors, a 3+4 and a 4+3) and couldn't understand why, "at my age", would i be worried about quality of life.
@@dmcarden This is exactly me but two 3+4 and one 4+3 at 40%. So far still located only in the prostate. Just had a complete bone imaging with contrast performed on me, looks clear of cancer, next week is the CT scan for the organs and tissue, I have my fingers crossed. Once results are in , will make a decision on how to proceed.
@@BigZWD please let us know how you make out. It is such a horrible disease but hoping you can take advantage of options that keep you disease-free and also still give you a good quality of life.

Does any of this info apply to stage 4 prostate cancer?
No. My dad had prostate cancer stage 4 and he passed away 2 weeks ago. In his case, he never goes to the doctor, even for check- ups so he was diagnosed 6 months before he passed away. It was a good relief for him since he was in such terrible pain and could not even leave the house. 😰

@@ravisankar8060 I am no doctor but am sure it can be managed, I don't know about cure. Please check with your doctor but what I remember is that 2 days before my dad passed away, he complained that his whole body was hurting, leading me to believe the cancer has spread to his bones. Please check with your doctor and have faith that anything is possible.🤔😒
My Dad has stage 4 prostate cancer. He passed away after a 7 year fight. His initial PSA was in the 2,000 range. He fought it with clean eating , a chemo pill & Lupron shots. He ate as organically as he could.
@@thuff1947 how old was he sir
With my agressive prostate cancer diagnosis the drs at Deaconess hospital a Md Andersen affiliated here indiana gave me 5 yrs.
My PSA was 23.5 my Gleason score 9.
And they steadfastly refuse to say theirs a cure.
Even given a now PSA of 0.30 it was mets my bones are clear after Radiation and Chemo. Still drs not positive??
Take it as it comes. You can't do anything else but! 5 years...could turn in to 6 then 8 then 10 then who knows what. Try not to focus your thoughts too far. There are no guarantees for anybody on this planet! plus advances in medicine constantly. I wish you all the best i possibly can.
This morning I learned that my Pops has Stage 2 prostate cancer. He's 73. I'm totally wiggin out. He's been telling me for the past 4 years to get myself checked out but I never have and I'm 49. (I need to). In a few week we'll find out if it has spread to his bones. We are all prior military and through the years we've had the mentality to just suck it up and work through/ignore the pain.
Pain...is an indicator of something being wrong. Why are we so hardheaded?
@em oj, same story here - veteran and farm “kid” and thought it was all stuff to just deal with. I was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer in Feb 2022, just completed 6 rounds of chemo and getting ready to start radiation therapy- all while on hormone therapy. Yes, it’s still something to just suck it up and deal with, but it is also a case of not ignoring the science. Do yourself, your Dad, and your fam and friends a huge favor and get screened. It’s a simple blood test. Catching it early makes all the difference. GO GET TESTED!!!
@@yoberckage6253 cancer is systemic
it just manifests in different places. you have to treat the whole body.
My PSA went from 10 to 14 in three months. Going for my third MRI since diagnosed with prostate CA three years ago. Been doing active surveillance because my doctor is against over treatment. It's stressful to live with cancer and never knowing if it will spread outside the prostate between scans. An MRI is too expensive to do more than once a year.

When I was told I had advanced prostate cancer at the first of this year I was told it could not be cured but with hormone injections it would slow it down. They gave me shots that same day as if it was critical.
It was the wrong thing to do as my life has been hell. At 75 it is not worth drowning in my own sweat every hour of the day and night. Hot flashes was a joke when they are never ending. Nobody will say how long I would live without the treatment or how much longer with. Now I also live on pain med every four hours. Nobody will shut down my pacemaker saying that is assisted suicide. Also have shrunken testicles and swollen breast. So live like a woman, is that a life????
Any in Kenya?
Past video's have been helpful in disseminating accurate infomation. However, this video totally disregards life expectancy of stage 3 and 4 prostate cancer to be pretty grim. It's ok to give a pep talk, but don't do so at the expense of honesty.

Prostate cancer typically does not have any symptoms, but a urologist should be able to help with any uncomfortable symptoms you are experiencing.
@@ThePCRI thanks. I should get vaccinated first i did not go for vaccine because i thought it will get worse because most guys who have been vaccinated while having problem in their health got worst
Whats your symptoms m
Then why do some Doctors make the diagnosis sound like a life or death situation if not treated immediately
I'm truly not negative so please keep that in mind. Cancer is a business and has grown to become a large industry. Surgeons get paid when they do surgery, radiologists need to do radiation and testosterone suppression treatments. So to protect their business they will encourage you to take their solution as the better one. Most will explain your options rationally; however, some will disparage other treatments and those are the ones to avoid. Do as much research as you can, talk to multiple doctors at different medical centers around the country. Best to speak with HCI Cancer Centers, not a local urologist. I took this approach and was glad I did as I decided to have surgery over radiation. Feeling great, PSAs are
@@jimteufel1939 thank you
I'm facing probable prostate cancer and have my first biopsy scheduled for the end of the month. Judging by my history of high PSA levels and body pain symptoms I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be stage 4 prostate cancer which I read the survival rate is about 30% after 4 years. Is this true? Is stage 4 prostate cancer a death sentence?
Hopefully that is not the case, but if so, it is important to keep in mind that the data for survival are based on cases that happened years ago when there were fewer options available and less refined treatment protocols. Nobody knows what the survival is now because the only way to study that is by looking backwards.
We have this video giving a summary of ASCO 2021 which discusses a Phase-III trial in France showing a median progression-free survival (meaning the time until the cancer starts growing) of 4.5 years when patients combined hormone therapy with a 2nd generation anti-androgen and chemotherapy, which is 2.3 years better than the previous standard of care of using hormone therapy plus a 2nd generation anti-androgen OR chemotherapy:
czcams.com/video/57ehJkVUqMU/video.html
We also have this video discussing the implications of that extra 2.3 years of progression-free survival. It means that a patient may be around for new treatments that become available:
czcams.com/video/ySLFcvGnnDY/video.html
There are also approved immunotherapies that like Provenge, and more that are being studied like CAR T-cell therapy; there are approved radiopharmaceuticals like Xofigo, and more being studied like Lutetium-177 (which is already available in other countries), and all of these new therapies are likely to extend survival even further. It is also possible that there may he targeted therapies available to you, e.g. PARP-inhibitors or Keytruda, depending on the results of genetic testing.

My biopsy was negative on prostate cancer but still went through a prostatectomy using robotic arms to remove part of the prostate. Recovery was fine but my bladder lost it's elasticity so it can't expand properly. This results in frequent trips to the bathroom. I'm guessing there's nothing I can do about that.

Hello, our prostate cancer helpline may be able to help with your question. Please feel free to contact us here: pcri.org/helpline
Did your friend have a bone imaging scan and a CT scan before surgery. That may have shown that the cancer was no longer localized in which case removal of the prostate probably should of been followed up with homotheaphy, or something like that, I'm no doctor just asking a question
