Motivated me to watch and learn by listening to your reason for presenting this video
Ur dad’s story was moving to understanding that you care.
Thank you for an informative presentation. @6:13 I appreciated where you tried to explain the difference between benign glandular structure and cancer cells. BUT unfortunately, it all looks like a Pollock painting to me. It reminded me of when my father's urologist had his prostate up on a sonogram and said, "It looked angry". I was just as confused, BUT I appreciated his attempt. I also liked the pictures sprinkled throughout the presentation
This was a valuable presentation for me. The discussion of mortality in relation to recurrence was especially helpful. My biopsy on 2023-12-20 revealed 3 + 4 = 7, with one core 90% involvement and another had 70%, most others much lower. Half of my cores contained cancer. I'm opting for robot assisted prostatectomy on 2024-04-09. I am 64, athletic, optimal weight and in good health. I do have issues with blood clots so I will be going with an ICV filter. This presentation helps me gain a little more info about what I may be in for long term, thanks a lot.
Good luck with your surgery ! 👍🏻
Had my surgery on April 22, doing well. Hoping PSA in July is where it needs to be,
I really don't want ADT or radiation. Gleason grade 4, Gleason score 8, so we'll see. Hope you are doing well
@@patledoc Surgery went well. My 30 day post surgery PSA was undetectable. The pathology report post surgery came back with negative margins and no cancer in the lymph nodes or seminal vesicles. I do have perineural invasion, don't know much about that. Was totally incontinent while standing upright, but that is improving significantly. I'm doing okay, thanks for checking in with me.

Great news!
For any men with prostate cancer watching this, studies shown here are 15 years old. And if published in 2011 with 20 year survival data it means 1990 treatments were in effect… Prognosis is much better now than it was then.
Excellent review! Thanks for posting.
You motivated me to watch by presenting why r doing this.
Just stumbled across your site. Here is my prostate cancer trip so far. PSA was a 6. Then 11 of 13 needle biopsies were positive. Had robotic surgery about 18 moths ago. Had PSA tests every 3 months. It has gone from .002 to .48 in February 2002. I had a PSMA PET SCAN here also in February February 2002. The only thing that was found was a lymph node in the abdomen. What worries me is is that my RO is unsure how to treat this. I have an appointment with Urologist today. I will get back to you. I have to get ready to go. I will get back to you. If you want to see any of my test results I can send them to you.

What Gleason Stage was diagnosed in biopsy ?
Thank you for this lecture!
Great video.
Thanks!
My urologist never went thr the rectum during my biospy.
