Avatar n tn observation if another biopsy done in 04/09 shows increase in positive cores to 3 or more or if any one core shows 50%+ positive for cancer? Also, is there any current opinion regarding use of Avodart or Proscar while in Watchful Waiting mode? I understand there would be a likely reduction in PSA, but that new PSA baseline be established and return to monitoring of PSA velocity. Not sure what, if any, benefit this would provide.
Avatar m tn I am 43yrs old and was treated for stage one prostate cancer last year. I had agressive treatment with a combination of external radiation and Brachytherapy.

Avatar n tn I met guys whose psa had increased form the 1 area to 2 and they had prostate cancer... the increase is the key. Also if you ever have prostate cancer and I sure hope you don't, I would really recommend Proton Radiation if it is available to you./... It has a 90% cure rate and little to no side effects from the treatments... Its like I am cured and was never sick... I hope this helps you.

NO ONE suspects cancer (A pevious micitrition study in 2014 revelaed a sdcarred bladder neck..but no indications of stone blockage in bladder or cancer. NO discoloration on penis or area.

Avatar n tn t work out, you might be giving a future partner/wife cancer..or warts. To me, cancer is worse, but warts isn't any fun either.
Avatar n tn Propose that your partner try Avodart. I think it really helps with prostate enlargement. That is what the television commercials say anyhow. Unfortunately it also can cause a large reduction in semen production. AND women wanting to become pregnant should NEVER touch the pill as it can cause birth defects if they are exposed at all to it. You can Google Avodart read all of this yourself from a variety of sites, including Avodart's manufacturer.
Avatar n tn Although hematospermia is not a typical sign of prostate cancer, its presence may indicate an increased risk of prostate cancer. It is exceedingly rare to have prostate cancer before age 40" en.allexperts.com/q/Urology-Male-issues-989/Brown-semen.htm However, check if the discoloration is seen repeatedly. An evaluation by a urologist is essential to rule out any serious conditions.

Avatar n tn In April 2008 the last 20 of these biopsies where taken and one positive core was found from the left side, showing 1 mm and 2 mm cancer nodes (Gleason 3+3). The right side did not include cancer in these biopsies. Now I have received the final pathologial report of prostatectomy and this shows that I have a relatively large cancer e.g. a 15 mm tumor nodulus on the right side and on the left side a 10mm tumor (Gleason for tumor is classified as 3+2).

Avatar n tn I am 60 and have tried literally every medication, antibiotic, and Proscar with no success for the past three years. The pain only dissipates during sleep. I know of one surgeon who performs Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy for chronic prostatitis but the cost is not covered by insurance. As part of the surgery the lymph nodes in the prostate are removed as well as the entire prostate. Does anyone know of a male who has had this surgery and it alleviated this neck pain?

Avatar m tn I am a 69 year old male with BPH, and a father who had prostate cancer for 15 years, but did not die from it. I have had two bouts of acute prostatitis causing complete retention in the last 7 years, one requiring catheterization. My PSA averages around 2.0, and I take Proscar and Cardura daily. My BPH symptoms are fairly mild causing only about one or two nights a month of nocturia, reduced urine flow, and hardly ever the feeling of urgency.
Avatar m tn First of all, PSA levels are not diagnostic of prostate cancer and you shouldn’t worry about it. There is no specific normal or abnormal level of PSA in the blood. In the past, most doctors considered PSA levels of 4.0 ng/mL and lower as normal. More recent studies have shown that some men with PSA levels below 4.0 ng/mL have prostate cancer and that many men with higher levels do not have prostate cancer. Hence alone PSA levels cannot confirm the presence of prostate cancer.
Avatar n tn what is the medication, is it proscar??

Avatar f tn tenofovir is the best drug for hbv and the most effective in cancer prevention and it has no resistance.not entecavir which has very low resistance but it has resistance it is not zero, it works less on liver cancer prevention but it is less heavy on kidneys so only if you have kidneys problems it is a better choice.
