Us Too Warriors,
Website for an alternative treatment close to mine for your consideration

Website for an alternative treatment that is close to mine, but they add one other drug. So I am taking three of their four (3durgs I take = a Statin(Not their statin), Metformin and doxycycline. I do not take menzbendole but I plan to add a like agent in a few weeks . They do not include the Casodex that has worked for me well for the last 3 years.

They(Their Docs) do everything over the phone and by mail. Last I heard their full consultation cost $270 and The four drugs cost $360 for 3 months. Not Paid by insurance I do not think. See if it makes sense to you if you talk to them for the first time free.

Best
Peter

Proton therapy is a cancer treatment option most commonly used for localized cancer, meaning it may treat cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body. Though popularly used for prostate and breast cancers, it has become a standard form of care for numerous cancer types. Many patients, both young and old, have utilized proton therapy as an effective cancer treatment option.

Prostate cancer's penchant for copper may be a fatal flaw (6/21/18)

Prostate cancer's penchant for copper may be a fatal flaw
Published Friday 17 October 2014
Adapted Media Release

Like discriminating thieves, prostate cancer tumors scavenge and hoard copper that is an essential element in the body. But such avarice may be a fatal weakness.

What is the PI-RADS Score?
By: Dan Sperling, MD
The tremendous international interest in 3T multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) brought with it the challenge of how to
standardize the reporting of prostate image analysis among radiologists around the globe. The European Society of
Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) proposed a numeric system called the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System,
or PI-RADS for prostate cancer detection. It is based in an earlier system for breast imaging.

Prostate imaging reporting and data system (PI-RADS)
Dr Marcin Czarniecki

PI-RADS (Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System) refers to a structured reporting scheme for evaluating the
prostate for prostate cancer. It is designed to be used in a pre-therapy patient.

The original PI-RADS score was annotated, revised and published as the second version, PI-RADSv2 6 by a steering
committee with the joint efforts of ACR, ESUR, and AdMeTech Foundation.

Dr. Oz Health Event Features Expert Dr. Dan Sperling

Dr. Sperling’s presentation on MRgFUS
As a leading authority on state-of-the-art MRI and MRI-guided treatment interventions, Dr. Sperling discussed his
revolutionary treatment called MRI Guided Focused Ultrasound, or MRgFUS. This therapeutic approach to healing diseased
areas in the body uses no surgery or radiation. Instead, using MRI scans to plan and guide treatment, sound waves are
aimed at the affected area from different directions. These beams pass harmlessly through healthy tissue until they meet,
where they precisely ablate (destroy) the target tissue. MRgFUS is safe and effective. It is done on an outpatient basis
to treat essential tremor (ET), cancer that has spread to the bone and other targeted conditions. Recovery is very rapid
and most patients have no pain and few to no side effects.
