High PSA level, underwent BIOPSY. Surgery or RADIATION SURGERY?

Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
1. The diagnosis as per the bone scan is metastatic prostate cancer (which means disseminated disease) for which the type of treatment needed is mainly hormonal therapy. This is for eliminating the testosterone levels from the body. For more clinical confirmation I would suggest to doa biopsy from the bone lesion to rule out carcinomatous involvement.
2. For metastatic cancer, the treatment will be to remove the testes. this is the major supply of testosterone in the body. Removal of testes eliminates the main source of this hormone and can be followed up with hormonal tablets.
3. Radiation depends on the need. You have to specify the need.
4. Surgery as testes removal will be the surgery in your case, if considered to have metastatic disease.

Hello, Thank you for an early response. 1. As diagnosed by your team that it is a case of metastatic prostrate because of the report of bone scan shows Conclusion of increased tracer uptake in left clavicle and left 4,5,6th arterial ribs, this may be due to an accident Which happened about 2months ago. To correlate this, the blood report which I had send shows ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) 14mm in 1hr. 2. Also for correlating the bone scan finding clinically I had been told to undergo a MRI scan which will be done on11th of this month. I request to re examine the document and suggest a treatment.

Hello,
The prior history of accident was not mentioned in the previous consult. I would really appreciate a complete past history about the patient to clinically correlate the investigation findings and thereby help you better. Please understand that the consults are answered only based on these reports without examining the patient.
The biopsy from the prostate reveals cancer with high Gleason grade. This requires complete metastatic evaluation prior to starting therapy. Metastatic evaluation requires CT scans of the abdomen and pelvis and CT scan of the chest. Bone scan already done shows few uptake in the left side which has been attributed to a prior accident.
Kindly revert back after completing the metastatic workup. In case of metastatic disease (disseminated disease), the treatment option would be as described in the previous consult.
In case of local disease, treatment choices are between either surgery or radiation. Best is Radiation, considering the Gleason score, option would be to opt for RAPID ARC or TRUBEAM or IGRT or IMRT.
Regards.

hello sir,
As suggested by you we did the MRI and am attaching the result to you.
1. Now based on the results pls suggest the treatment to undergo.
2. And based on the report please tell the possibility of reoccurence post treatment.

Hello,
Thank you for your follow up.
In order to be able to evaluate metastatic requires CT scans of the abdomen and pelvis and CT scan of the chest. Your attached report only shows reporting on MRI of the pelvis. CT chest study reports needed are required to give an appropriate opinion.
If they are normal, then further treatment line will be Radiation therapy with or without hormonal agent.. IMRT (Intensity modulated radiation therapy) or IGRT (image guided radiation therapy) will be the preferred modality.
Kindly understand that I am not in a positon to comment on possibility of recurrence without the the CT chest study reports.
Hope this addresses your concern. Feel free to discuss further.

Hello sir, Thank you for the reply, with the mri report i tried to upload the mri images but couldnt do because of the upload limit of the site. Kindly sugest how to upload
