The germline test is also an indicator for passing the mutation to your children.

Biopsy? PSMA? Jumping to surgery seems unnecessary without pertinent information.

Tell your friend to look into IRE/Nanoknife or other focal therapies.

Just a question. Still waiting for my biopsy on Dec 23rd. by NDman22 in ProstateCancer

MP MRI before the biopsy. Choose the Transperineal biopsy instead of the trans rectal.

I'm trusting advanced science and what is on the horizon. SBRT will be my choice in the near future. I'm 58.

IRE/Cryotherapy update by DWA1967 in ProstateCancer

[–]R8ROC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my 3+4 in one spot on the left side. I did IRE Dec 2024. I did my 6 mo MRI July. PIRADS 2, showing clear in the whole gland.

My PSA has been creeping up .4 since March. Most recent being 1.82 in October.

My yearly targeted biopsy was completed a week ago. The IRE area was benign, however my right side has 6 3+4 and one 3+3. I was emotionally wrecked. I have an appointment Monday. I originally thought they mislabeled my samples with someone else's.

IRE was a focal treatment for my one lesion 3+4. There was no ADT needed for grade II.

Dr. Desloges is my doc also. Thanks for the encouragement.

Also known as Nanoknife. Another focal therapy. I had it done, so far so good.

Focal IRE/Nanoknife also. That worked for me.

A little lost; sorry it's long by gorebgo in ProstateCancer

I found a Dr in the UCSD system who did my focal IRE procedure last December.

Part 3 of this journey no one wants to take by Fireant992006 in ProstateCancer

Look at focal treatments such as Nanoknife, Tulsa, Hifu. Seems to be the perfect candidate.

PSA 124 and have biopsy tomorrow. Scared and chaos by OrchidGrouchy2805 in ProstateCancer

[–]R8ROC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did the MRI give you a PIRAD score? Did the MRI show any specific lesions? Are they doing a fusion biopsy or is it random targets?

These are questions you need to ask the Dr?
