This message pertains to the utility of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), for the treatment of Advanced Prostate Cancer.

PSA writes Dr. John Lee (Harmone Balance for Men) is produced both within the Prostate Gland and the Breast Tissue. He further writes that the normal cells produce PSA, an anti angiogenesis defence when there are abnormally growing cells in the prostate. This seems to indicate that the PSA has no correlation with what is happening in the bone and anywhere outside prostate. Is this correct?

There are further questions:

(a) How do we monitor bone metastasis and other situations where the cancer has escaped out of prostate. (non-Bone Scan/MRI options)

(b) Are there other prostate tumor markers that can tell us the tumor loads/tumor activity in non prostate areas such as the bones.

(c) Will Acid Phosphatase levels inform us the status of prostate metastasis on bone.

(d) Are Osteoblastic/Osteocystic/Osteocytic rates right parameters to track.

Sam|||There are a few misconceptions here.

* PSA is manufactured almost exclusively by prostate cells. Although there are a few other cell types that can make minute quantities of it, their contribution is so small that PSA is indeed, for all practical purposes, a prostate-_specific_ marker.

However, that doesn%26#039;t mean it measures only cells that reside in the prostate gland.

* In a person with normal prostatic health, prostate cells reside only in the prostate gland. But in a person with advanced prostate cancer, most of his prostate cells have traveled to areas outside the prostate, typically the bones and lungs.

Therefore, for men with advanced prostate cancer, PSA is normally the single best way of tracking the cancer, since it correlates so well with the number of prostate cells in the body — both within the gland (if it%26#039;s still there) and outside the gland, and thus presumably cancerous.

(a) To specifically find bone metastases, one would normally use an imaging technique, such as a bone scan, a CT scan, and/or a PET scan (preferably one that uses 11C-choline rather than 18F-FDG). It%26#039;s unclear why someone would try to monitor bone metastasis without any attempt to image the bones, so I don%26#039;t know what prompts the question. (Not all imaging techniques use radioactive tracers, for example. And if expense is an issue, then maybe consider simple X-rays.)

(b) There are indeed other tumor markers, but none of them are specific to rogue prostate cells that are in the _bones_, as opposed to rogue prostate cells generally. Such tumor markers include: PSMA, PAP, NSE, CGA, and CEA.

(c) Yes and no. PAP (prostatic acid phosphatase) is useful as a tumor marker, but no tumor marker, so far as I know, can possibly differentiate betwee bone and non-bone metastasis.

(d) Yes and no. If you%26#039;re focusing only on the bone, then you are interested in overall rates of bone-building (osteoblastic) and bone-resorption (osteoclastic) activity. But you won%26#039;t know _where_ the activity is occurring.

Most importantly: In a person has advanced prostate cancer, bone issues are one of the consequences. But it%26#039;s much more important to tend to the cancer itself than to focus on only one of its consequences. If a car is heading downhill and its brakes are failing, one of the consequences will be tiretread left on the roadway. Rather than trying to measure and track the tiretread, it%26#039;s more important to find a turnoff, or a soft ditch, or (best) an alternate braking system.

A few years ago a cancer specialist came out with a paper that said the best cancer/infection fighter found to date was Interferon. At the time it was $15,000 a gram. The paper also said that Interferon was a by-product of the natural breakdown of Vitamin C in your body. Shortly after that the FDA tried to make Vitamin C by prescription only. Guess why? The FDA has the RDA for Vitamin C set at 64 mg a day, just enough to ward off scurvy. 42 Linus Pauling, who got a Nobel Prize for his work with Vitamin C and a second Nobel Prize for Organic Chemistry, said that 1000 mg a day should be the minimum and 2000 mg a day if you are sick or smoke. He played tennis almost daily until the day he died at 96. Personally, I got sick twice a year for 2 weeks at a time, for more than 20 years, with something to this day the doctors have no idea what it was, but for a week in the middle of those 2 weeks I was flat on my back. I started Vitamin C therapy once I gave up on the doctors. 43 I took enough to be asymptomatic for those 2 weeks. Too much and I got diarrhea and too little and I got sick. Within a narrow range, and it followed a bell curve over those 2 weeks, I was not sick. At the height I was taking 40,000 mg a day and 300,000 over the 2 weeks. After 2 years of that I have not been sick since – more than 15 years. Vitamin C acts as a natural diuretic so you need to drink a lot of water and watch your body in total, but my kidneys did not dissolve as the doctors predicted, or get massive kidney stones as other predicted. I did not dissolve my bones as some predicted or completely calcify my joints as others predicted. (If you find this useful, copy it and give it to a friend. Somebody got to Yahoo and they delete this as soon as they find it) 44 I had no side effects at all. It might be something to consider.

I%26#039;ve researched this and know there is a possibility I have prostate cancer. if this things comes back clean, I promise to start taking care of my prostate, but have no idea how to do this. I have SO many questions.. should I stop masturbating?? can diet help? help!|||First, I am a cancer survivor — 14 years. I know the fear and helplessness.

Second, the diagnosis isn%26#039;t back yet. It%26#039;s always better for your health to assume the BEST not the worst. Your body actually responds to you having a positive attitude. I know it%26#039;s easy to say %26quot;don%26#039;t worry,%26quot; and I%26#039;m not going to do that. Look to the future, though. The chance that it is cancer is actually pretty low. Most of the time, an enlarged prostate is benign.

Thirdly, masturbating does not have negative effects on your prostate. There are so many, MANY taboos when it comes to masturbation, but it really is a health benefit, as long as it%26#039;s not excessive. Up to once a day is fine, normal, healthy, good for you, etc.

Things that are damaging to the prostate would be rigorous prostate massage (you should look that up — I%26#039;m uncomfortable describing it in detail if it%26#039;s not obvious) and things of that nature. It is actually BETTER for the prostate for you to ejaculate fairly often (a couple times a week at minimum).

I have heard that the following foods can help protect against prostate cancer:

cauliflower, grapefruit, peanuts, tomatoes, watermelon

Foods that can protect against cancer in general:

apricots, beans, beets, blueberries, broccoli, cabbage, cantaloupe, carrots, cherries, chestnuts, chili peppers, figs, fish, garlic, grapes, green tea, lemons, limes, mangos, mushrooms, oats, olive oil, onions, oranges, peaches, rice, strawberries, sweet potatoes, walnuts, and plenty of water.

I am curious to know how you realized that you had a problem, though, if you don%26#039;t mind my asking.

Prostate cancer is a disease in which cancer develops in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system. It occurs when cells of the prostate mutate and begin to multiply out of control. These cells may spread (metastasize) from the prostate to other parts of the body, especially the bones and lymph nodes. Prostate cancer may cause pain, difficulty in urinating, erectile dysfunction and other symptoms. The difficulty with urinating is that your stream becomes weaker. You may notice that younger children have a strong urine stream, which is because of their Prostate. Prostate cancer just weakens the stream even more.

Rates of prostate cancer vary widely across the world. Although the rates vary widely between countries, it is least common in South and East Asia, more common in Europe, and most common in the United States.[1] According to the American Cancer Society, prostate cancer is least common among Asian men and most common among black men, with figures for white men in-between.[2][3] However, these high rates may be affected by increasing rates of detection.[4]

Prostate cancer develops most frequently in men over fifty. This cancer can occur only in men, as the prostate is exclusively of the male reproductive tract. It is the most common type of cancer in men in the United States, where it is responsible for more male deaths than any other cancer, except lung cancer. However, many men who develop prostate cancer never have symptoms, undergo no therapy, and eventually die of other causes. Many factors, including genetics and diet, have been implicated in the development of prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is most often discovered by physical examination or by screening blood tests, such as the PSA (prostate specific antigen) test. There is some current concern about the accuracy of the PSA test and its usefulness. Suspected prostate cancer is typically confirmed by removing a piece of the prostate (biopsy) and examining it under a microscope. Further tests, such as X-rays and bone scans, may be performed to determine whether prostate cancer has spread.

Prostate cancer can be treated with surgery, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, occasionally chemotherapy, proton therapy, or some combination of these. The age and underlying health of the man as well as the extent of spread, appearance under the microscope, and response of the cancer to initial treatment are important in determining the outcome of the disease. Since prostate cancer is a disease of older men, many will die of other causes before a slowly advancing prostate cancer can spread or cause symptoms. This makes treatment selection difficult.[5] The decision whether or not to treat localized prostate cancer (a tumor that is contained within the prostate) with curative intent is a patient trade-off between the expected beneficial and harmful effects in terms of patient survival and quality of life.

Heed your doctors advice and you%26#039;ll probably be O.K. Good luck!

My best friend was just diagnosed with prostate cancer and I would like positive feed back for him. Prostate cancer survivors only, please send me your testimonial.|||I had my robotic prostatectomy surgery October 2005 in Detroit with Dr. Mennon. I am 48 years old, very good health, exercise regularly. My Gleason score was 6 and they were able to execute nerve-sparing procedures. If you %26quot;must%26quot; have your prostate removed, the Robotic method is the way to go unless there has been a new development in the last year that I do not know about.

Henry Ford Hospital has a very informative website to give you all the information you need. There is another good facility in Columbus, Ohio. OSU – Both links are listed below

The surgery was a piece of cake, six small cuts on my stomach, which healed quickly. I had a lot of pain in my shoulders from the gas, which they pump into me during surgery. Not everyone has this, but it took about 2 days for mine to go away.

I had a catheter for 10 days, which was not fun, but after getting used to the routine empties and cleanings, it was not as bad as I thought it would be. I then had to use a heavy continence pad and progressed to a smaller pad as time went on (2-months). After 2 weeks I was feeling very good. Actually, one day after the catheter came out, I went back to my normal activities except exercise. No lifting.

I was very worried about holding my water and began to wonder if I would ever be normal again. This is something you cannot rush! After two months, I was able to wear a very thin pad, which was only in case of an accident. After 3 months and up to today (8 months later), I am in complete control. If I am doing heavy lifting or stretch backwards with a full bladder, there have been a few times that I lost a dribble up to a teaspoon but have always been able to suppress it. Common sense says, do not drink a lot before going to bed, especially in the beginning.

Now lets talk about the number one concern for most men. Erectile Dysfunction. I’ll be honest, nothing down there so far.

Going into the ninth month, I have tried Viagra and there is still nothing, not even the start of something. I am very discouraged at this point. My wife keeps telling me it will get better. The doctors say a year but I think it%26#039;s going to be longer. Remember, I was very discouraged about holding my water but %26quot;it did get better%26quot;. I am very hopeful the erection will be the same. I have started research for alternative methods just in case, but I%26#039;m not ready to pursue them for quite awhile. It is tough to find someone to talk about this and be honest. Even Dr. Mennon and his team avoided the issue.

I was asked, %26quot;Would I do it again%26quot;? My answer: Did I have a choice? I wanted the cancer out of me. If it had went to the bone or elsewhere, things would have been much worse.

Prior to surgery, I remember my emotions running wild. To keep it short and without detail, even suicide was seriously considered. Man, I am glad I never pulled a stupid stunt like that. I really believe such a thought has entered all minds of men in this situation even if only for a minute. HEY DON%26#039;T DO IT. I kept telling myself, in a few months this will all be behind me. I was right! Life is great. I have a beautiful wife who loves me very much and I hope to be a grandpa in the future.

To think I was willing to throw all that away, how foolish.

I know this is somewhat crude, but lets not beat around the bush and tell it like it is. I wish someone had told me this prior to surgery to keep me from doing something stupid. Thank God I didn%26#039;t.

Life is good and I will deal with my one problem as time permits.

I am very hopeful all will be normal again. If not, I have found there are many remedies to alter my problem.

Good luck men, May God give you Strength.

Causes of testicular pain include: trauma, testicular torsion (blood supply is cut off and this is an emergency), epididymitis, hernia, orchitits, testicular tumor, and rarely, infections or bleeding in the abdomen. You can read more about these conditions at the following site: http://www.emedicinehealth.com/articles/…

SYMPTOMS OF PROSTATIS (I do not see scrotal pain here):

Symptoms of the chronic forms of prostatitis, including inflammatory and noninflammatory chronic pelvic pain syndrome, may include:

A frequent urge to urinate, although you may only pass small amounts of urine.

A burning sensation when urinating (dysuria).

Difficulty starting urination, interrupted flow (urinating in waves rather than a steady stream), weaker-than-normal urine flow, and dribbling after urinating.

Excessive urinating at night (nocturia).

A sensation of not completely emptying the bladder.

Pain or discomfort in the lower back, in the area between the testicles and anus, in the lower abdomen, upper thighs, or above the pubic area. Pain may become worse during a bowel movement.

Pain or vague discomfort during or after ejaculation.
