hello Doctor My father (68 years) is diagnosed with prostate cancer . He already had a testicles removal operation in May 2011. But now again his PSA increased to 328. But physically he is not suffering from any difficulties or abnormalities. I just want to know treatment he suppose to continue. Is any medicine available for treatment or chemotherapy is the only option?? Please give your valuable suggestions. Thanks
Hi, Rising PSA value in a prostate cancer survivor is alarming issue. It should be verified whether there is any metastasis or not. Treatment will differ according to the site of metastasis. Chemotherapy is mandatory only after confirmation of visceral metastasis. At first, you should go for a detailed metastatic work up of your father, consult an oncologist.
