Prostate Oncology Specialists
Добавлен 10 авг 2010
We are medical oncologists, internists specifically trained to diagnose and treat all types of cancer. Since 1995, we have restricted ourselves to treating prostate cancer. Strangely, even though millions are living with prostate cancer, less than a hundred medical oncologists actually specialize in treating it. Almost all these specialists are located at academic centers focusing on research. In the whole country, we are one of only a couple private centers devoted exclusively to treating prostate cancer.
As medical oncologists and internists, we do not have a preset agenda for one specific treatment such as surgery or radiation. All treatments, including active surveillance, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, surgery, radiation, brachytherapy, cryotherapy, nutritional and alternative therapies, HIFU and chemotherapy are given consideration.

I agree getting the trus test might be necessary after all it's only a twenty min test just get it for the info 2:26 2:26 2:26 2:26 2:26 2:26
I was on Lupron for one year back in 2017. Horrible. Cancer came back. I told them no Lupron but they gave it to me anyway. They tried to give me Xanti which I refused. I had to get taken off Lupron because of bad side effects. I now am under the care of a director of the entire oncology department at a major medical university. Get a second or third opinion because it can save your life.
Taking 4 tablets a day, PSA went from 33 to 19 in 6 months, i]m in stage 3, i take all 4 right after breakfast every morning.
Xtandi is not meant to be taken by itself.
@@timkbt Says who?
@@baird5776mullet “Xtandi is an androgen receptor inhibitor that is usually used in conjunction with androgen deprivation therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer. The main side effects are weakness or lack of energy, pain, and hot flashes.” Get a second opinion. If it was really working your psa after six months probably should be lower. It’s meant to be combined with an ADT drug like Lupron. Trials were done with Lupron and Xandi and Lupron by itself.
@@baird5776mullet I take that back. They are going to put me on Darolutamide which is a second generation pill but considered better than Xtandi. Less side effects.
Where’s Don now? How long has/did Provenge extend his life?
Will begin Provenge treatment next week. I have hope it will be helpful, but have read that results have been underwhelming. I will see.
good luck, i am doing my dissertation on it and it looks like a promising drug with minimum side effects
As of 1 March 2023 the Prostate Specific Antigen test (PSA TEST) shall not be permitted to be performed in Iceland or any place subject to its jurisdiction. The PSA Test has been repeatedly proven to cause more harm to public health than good through numerous international studies. The Althing finds and decrees that this is unacceptable and that good cause exists for the nation of Iceland, as of 1 March 2023, to prohibit the use of the PSA Test for all purposes. All instruments previously utilized to carry out the implementation of the PSA Test shall hereby be destroyed and the importation of any test to make use of a PSA test or any of the instruments used therein shall hereby deemed illegal. Violations of this Act shall result in the revocation of the license of the medical provider utilizing the PSA test and subject those who violate this Act subject to both civil and criminal penalties.
NEVER HAD A PSA TEST AND NEVER WILL. AND IM 64!
YOU FUCKING LIAR. GO TO HELL AND SHOVE THAT PSA TEST UP YOUR STINKING ASS.

Is there a method of getting a transcript of this podcast or others?
Who in the hell has „annual physical examinations“ unless they are airline pilots? What a joke. No one needs this. This is 1950s medicine.
You guys get rich on chopping out prostates. You’re frauds promoting this PSA Test. I’ll never have one done and never have had one, and I’m 63. you’re not going to mutilate me. Get the test yourself (bet you’ve never had one!!)
Another wonderful vid, thanks!
This was easy to understand actually. Thankyou for this very informative video!
My dad took this for 5 months didn't work for him at all Cancer still spread everywhere quickly. The pain and sickness this drug caused him was worse than everything. The anxiety, tiredness and bone pain depleted him.
Disculpa, mi papa lleva 2 meses con xtandi, pero apartir de su consumo, incremento el dolor y rapidamente dejo de caminar, yo quiero pensar que es parte de la curva de estabilidad, pero me preocupa que en lugar de ayudarlo lo este perjudicando, podrias darme algun consejo, porque he llegado a pensar ensusoender el medicamento, y cuando les comento a los medicos solo me dicen que es por su enfermedad pero les digo que i independientemente de eso no deberia eetar peor en tan poco tiempo. Podrias darme un consejo.
I'm very sorry to hear about your dad. I'm not a medical Dr so can only share my experience. If your dad is taking this then his condition is likely terminal. Either way the end is near. Make peace with this and value the time you have left. My dad found it very painful but wanted to take it as it gave him hope. ❤
@@cshell2001 esta en la etapa de metástasis, y siento que mi papá lo esta tomando porque le da tambien esperanzas, sin embargo veo que lo esta acelerando y no le ayuda, tambien siente mucho dolor, pero no quiere dejar de tomarlo y comprendo lo que me dices, agradezco mucho tu explicacion, y por compartirme tu experiencia, y tambien siento mucho lo de tu papá, son situaciones muy lamentables.
@@azazelbaal3929I pray God gives you strength through this time. ❤ Good luck
@@cshell2001 haré todo lo posible para apoyar a mi padre sin importar lo que pase, agradezco mucho tus oraciones cshell, en verdad lo aprecio mucho, cuidate y gracias por todo.
Awesome thanks 😊
Thanks to you both for supplying so much information. I'm looking forward to starting at the beginning and hearing them all.
Thank you for listening and for the nice comment, we really appreciate it!
Basura de medicamento,con mas efectos colaterales que beneficios 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎❤👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Taking Xtandi tablets daily and Prostap injections every month. Thank you for this interesting video.
Please try all the natural cure for cancer like baking soda/molasses or lemon protocol. I am doing all the natural things cause i am also a prostate cancer patient. GOD BLESS.
Please don't be so stupid
Your comment is not only stupid, but dangerous
Please Please Please do not trust those baking soda, syrup, PH water, etc myths. My husband quit his Lupron and tried all those natural things. His PSA went from 8 to 40 during those 2 yrs. He lost valuable time. He had radiation and now his PSA is back up to 22. They think the delay in treatment caused the cancer to spread. We believed all the hype too and it almost cost him his life. His kidneys were failing because the cancer had blocked his bladder, he had to have emergency surgery to put in a super pubic catheter. Please find a good urologist before it's too late.
You guys have heard of Lutetium 177? Should rid one's body completely of cancer, but there's a cost.....anyone has experienced the treatment?
Dr. Peck...... you're funny. We related to alot if your story. I've also had surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and Reclast infusions.
Encouraging story of a long term survivor of Prostate cancer.
PSA is not a marker for prostate cancer. It can lead to over diagnosis. False treatment. Harm. The Urology Dept. needs a better tool than PSA. It was FDA approved in '86 you would think by now they would have a better tool, but no. PSA produces a lot of revenue for the Urology Dept. by the billions and they know that, but they do not tell you that. The PSA is their golden goose that lays the golden eggs (billions) for them. Money talks.
Your canser is just like my dads , he is used hormon therapy for about 3 years and also he was the fourth degree ,now he is using Xtandi he has gone really better and also he have a little bone ache , it was a beautiful video ❤️ Your wife is gorgeous
Hi, how’s your father doing?
@@user-lt2lt1bp3t he’s fine thank you ❤️
my dad is also using xtandi now :)❤️
Thanksss
Expensive as heck with tolerability and effectiveness not guaranteed.
Impressive
Been on Zytiga for several years? Rich person...
Not if you live in Australia. Our universal Heath Care system makes it available at around A$40 per month.
I just started taking this med. in US. Cost is $904.00 month and I pay 25% of that my co-pay.
@@melvinrichardson4501 how you doing now?
I am thankful of this new technology. If I am faced with biopsy this is the route I intend to take. If my doctor doesn't support this decision then I will go to one that does. It is my choice as to what tests that I will endure. I think random saturation biopsies are Brutal at best and a terrible thing to have to go through. I hope this kind of technology takes off as the new standard, we will all be better off.
Patients sometimes ask me why their scans have to be repeated. The modern methodology, for monitoring prostate cancer, historically, was putting needles into the prostate on a regular basis. We didn’t have scans that were accurate enough to monitor people. But now, with new imaging techniques such as 3T multiparametric MRI, we can actually see the small cancers within the gland. That of course can be monitored over time. These scans not only have the ability to see the cancers, but they can determine if there is a change or if they are growing over time. How much they are growing and over what period of time do they grow. This is the new basis for our determination, is to whether someone has a cancer that safe enough to continue to be watched, or rather something that is growing too quickly, and needs some sort of definitive treatment. Different situations arise when people consider prostate scanning on a sequential basis. For example, the typical scenario, if someone has a favorable scan, and wants to keep track of what’s going on, would be to get a check up on an annual basis. There are situations that arise however, where small abnormalities are seen may be ambiguous, we’re not quite sure, if they are actionable spots or we should be worried about them. In that scenario, we will consider repeating the scan again, after only six months. We also consider other alternative forms of imaging such as color Doppler ultrasound in addition to 3T multiparametric MRI imaging, to try and determine if a small abnormality looks like it could be worrisome or not.
We want to thank The Prostate Cancer Research Institute for this new association, Dr. Scholz is in the lead in the fight against prostate cancer, his staff is very kind & knowledgeable. I think his patients are pleased with the treatment options available at the (PCRI). We are looking forward to working with Dr. Scholz and his staff more as we welcome him for next month's cancer support group meeting October 25, 2014. This is an honor for us.
It does put a huge burden onto the pt. who must first: understand where his " cancer" is on the spectrum from AS to GS 8-9. He must also guard against being nudged or pushed into an aggressive approach because his clinician insists on being "safe". Patient education involves hard work on the pt's part. It's so much easier to only hear the "cancer" word in the diagnosis of "low grade cancer" that this alone will push a man into a treatment with consequent morbidity and alteration of his life style.
Safe to watch Prostate Cancer? What is Active Surveillance?
Very good explanation and it would be great if more physicians explained this up front. Great piece of information
