Search results for "Cryotherapy"

CNS sent me the rejection reason:-

PSMA PET is only indicated for patients with BCR where salvage treatment (surgery/RT/cryotherapy is being actively considered. It is not indicated to decide on use of HRT post salvage.

she also sent me the criteria list and the most obvious one, is “should have at least two consecutive PSA levels of 0.2 or greater” My husband only has one which makes me question why the oncologist requested the scan so early.

To revert to the original Focal Treatment referred to by the OP, I had HIFU twice for failed RT. Focal Treatment for treatment can be given to suitable men ass a primary or salvage treatment. A small proportion of men have this compared with Surgery or one of the forms of Radiotherapy. In the UK most men who have Focal treatment have HIFU with a lesser number having Cryotherapy, much depending on the location of the tumour(s).

It is correct that the thinking behind Focal is to eradicate only significant tumour thereby preserving as much function as possible. This can mean that a further treatment is necessary as it was in my case. My last MRI was clear and I have a low and stable PSA so was told I am in remission. After 2 years without one, I am due for another MRI this coming December.

So as it stands, I am happy with HIFU and the fact that was an easy procedure that gave me no side effects. (I should mention that long term side effects of RT stopped my having erections, so I cannot say how HIFU would have affected me in this regard if it had been my primary treatment. However, HIFU is said to be less onerous than Surgery or Radiotherapy in this respect.) Where necessary Surgery or RT can follow Focal Treatment. As with any form of medical intervention there can be failures and a need for further treatment, so a man needs to do his research before making his decision.

HIFU is one of a family of focal therapies. The others offered in the UK are cryotherapy and nanoknife.

There are several centres offering one or more focal therapies, but none north of London as far as I know. (There is a charity Prost8 which is trying to get them rolled out further afield.)

Focal therapies don't treat the whole prostate, only the tumours. Often they don't treat all the tumours, only the two largest, putting you on to Active Surveillance for any remaining ones. Even if all the tumours were treated, you still go back on to something like Active Surveillance for monitoring the prostate afterwards, as it's not as easy to tell if the treatment worked as it is with prostatectomy or radiotherapy.

There are heated debates/arguments among urologists on if focal therapies are sensible treatments, some feeling strongly that they are (those who perform them), and others feeling strongly that focal therapies are not sensible curative treatments because prostate cancer isn't focal and tends to spring up in lots of places in the prostate eventually. There isn't long term data to affirm or refute these.

If you want to know if you're eligible for a focal therapy, you will have to get a referral to a centre which does them. Urologists at centres which don't do the procedure are unlikely to give accurate info. UCLH and Imperial are the two largest who offer all the options. Some other centres offer only HIFU.

Hello, sorry to her this.

Yes, max age for Prostatectomy is typically 75.

Other options for recurrence in the prostate after radiotherapy could be:

• Focal treatments (HIFU, Cryotherapy, Nanoknife), if the recurrence is focal.

• There is some thought that radiation therapy again might be possible if it was previously given a long time ago, but this certainly isn't standard in the UK, and maybe not available at all.

To pursue any of these in your special situation, you'll need to be referred to a research centre such as the London teaching hospitals.

If you are seriously considering HIFU, preferring it to other possible options, you need to go to a place where there is a specialist for it to ascertain whether you are a suitable patient. They will do a high quality scan and you will not be eligible if any cancer is observed to be outside the Prostate, in a part that cannot be reached or there is too much cancer for this type of treatment or too widely distrubuted. Before the HIFU you will also have to pass varios other pre op tests. To get pretty comperable results with surgery or radiation treatment you may well need the HIFU to be repeated as was the case with me. I had it for failed RT, the last HIFU being done in Dec 2021. (My PSA when recently tested was 0.04, nothing untoward was seen in my last MRI and I was told that I am in remission).

I had my HIFU within a trial at UCLH in London and I beleve they now do the procedure outside a trial on the NHS. They have the most experience of the procedure in the UK and instruct others.how to perform it. They also specialize in Cryotherapy and Nanoknife, the latter being a name for Irreversable Electroporation, being other forms of Focal Therapy. I believe there are centres that do HIFU in Bristol, Southampton, Guildford and a few other places with more looking to adopt the procedure.but not difficult to get a train to Paddington and bus or taxi to UCLH and go to the most experienced.

Lizzo is right that there is not much long term data on HIFU compared with Surgery or Radiation but clinical trials started in France in 1993 using the French Ablatherm for Prostate Cancer and it was awarded the CE mark of approval in 1999 so medium term results are known. Of course techniques have improved over time as has the equipment and one area of great benefit has been the precision afforded in recent years by the higher quality scans available. HIFU generally enables a very fast recovery with minimal side effects but if it is not able to eradicate the cancer a Prostatectomy can follow or radiation be given. However, it can made these follow up treatments more diddicult if necesssary. You have to bear in mind that all forms of treatment have their share of failurers and potential side effects.

There is debate about how effective changing diet can be on slowing down the progress of PCa and there have been posts about this on the forum. Unfortunately, once diagnosed, a changed diet is not going to cure PCa.

Nanoknife is available at UCLH on the NHS for suitable candidates.

I wouldn't be surprised if Imperial did it too.

I have heard some district general hospitals are looking at offering it, but the advantage of the above is they do HIFU and Cryotherapy too, so if one focal treatment isn't suitable or not the best choice in your case, they'll know if another one would be better.

Hi Paul,

I went to an appointment here in the UK with my brother who has prostate cancer and I mentioned Tulsa Pro.  The consultant said he was very familiar with it, said it was trialed in the UK a few years ago and the general thinking was that it was not ideal for full prostate ablation.  The reason provided was that being from the inside out it could miss cancer cells at the periphery of the organ.  Having read the material at the website, I'm not sure about this.  The consultant carries out the following procedures plus others: removal, cryotherapy and HIFU.  I'll try calling the Tulsa Pro center in the Netherlands or the Profound Medical to get their opinion on this but wanted to get your feedback.  Thanks, Harry. 

Hi ,

has anybody got any info / experience of on cyber- knife ?

do the cancer lesions need to be visible like for nano-knife and cryotherapy ?

my cancer lesions are not visible .,

does this rule cyber knife out for me ?

any advice / links  will be much appreciated

Chris, I think you would do well to report conclusions from trials and leading Consultants rather than your impressions based on some of the 'stories' of some men who have posted on this forum.

Firstly, Focal treatments do not have an extremely poor track record as a permanent fix but experience has shown that it sometimes requires two applications to get results that are comparable with RT or Surgery and overall side effects are generally far less.  You may find this interesting.  It reports from some of the most highly regarded Consultants in the PCa world, three of them involved in my case.  https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10128675/1/Emberton_Focal_therapy_compared_to_radical_prostatectomy_for_non-metastatic_prostate_cancer_a_propensity_matched_study.pdf

Secondly, Nanoknife (Irreversible Electroporation) is now available on the NHS like other Focal Treatments such as HIFU and Cryotherapy are but only at specialist Centres. https://www.uclh.nhs.uk/news/uclh-first-nhs-use-nanoknife-prostate-cancer It has been shown that Focal Therapy is superior to both Prostatectomy and RT in terms of cost/QOLY so it is likely that it will become more frequently administered in future. https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10176254/1/Focal%20therapy%20versus%20radical%20prostatectomy%20and%20external%20beam%20radiotherapy%20as%20primary%20treatment%20options%20for%20non-metastatic%20prostate%20cancer%20%20results%20of%20.pdf

Thirdly, you say that RP and RT have excellent permanent success rates.  However, these treatments eventually fail in about a third of cases, which I wouldn't describe as excellent!  https://www.nature.com/articles/s41391-023-00712-z

If the OP is interested in Focal Treatment, I suggest he discusses this with UCLH in London who could best advise on his suitability, as they have the most experience with various types of Focal Treatment in the UK.

    When prostate cancer cells in culture are treated with vitamin
    K2, both those sensitive to male hormones (androgens) and those
    resistant to male hormones are unable to reproduce, and
    eventually die.47 Vitamin K2 has been associated with a 63% lower
    risk of advanced prostate cancer in men with the highest intake
    of the nutrient.7 Similarly, a higher ratio of vitamin
    K-activated osteocalcin versus inactive osteocalcin correlates
    closely with reduced prostate cancer risk, demonstrating the
    molecular connection.48

    Chi et al. [67] found a relationship between increased
    concentrations of ketosis-related compounds and prostate specific
    antigen (PSA) double time, indicating that cancer growth was
    reduced in a ketosis-intensified diet (CAPS2 diet trial).
    Because current evidence supports a plant-based diet as part of a
    healthy lifestyle associated with reduced cancer risk [68], how
    do we reconcile a plant-based with ketogenic diet when it
    concerns cancer prevention and/or management? Perhaps it will
    take a randomized trial comparing a plant-based vs. fat-based
    diet to prove which is better for patients with prostate and
    other cancers.
    It is of interest that several natural compounds produced during
    ketosis, such as beta-hydroxybutyrate, a short-chain fatty acid
    with documented antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, may
    affect the microbiome in a favorable manner and provide
    salubrious as well as anti-cancer effects.
    For example, Cheng et al. [69] reported that both fasting and a
    high-fat diet improve the function of intestinal stem cells. They
    published that any kind of diet in which carbohydrate intake is
    limited stimulates ketogenesis and promotes the growth of
    intestinal stem cells.
    What remains unclear is that if fasting or a ketogenic diet
    enables healing and proliferation of intestinal NSCs, would it
    paradoxically empower CSCs, too? Perhaps, ketogenesis and fasting
    are good for prevention of cancer, but not so good when a patient
    already has active, if not fulminant, cancer.

    ...

    If we hypothesize that cancer is a metabolic disease and
    glucose is central to cancer metabolism, then we give DCA and
    2DG and we take aspartame and ketogenic diet. We have learned
    and will discover that what is effective in treating cancer
    cells in the laboratories may be futile and could even be
    harmful to patients in the clinics [34].
    If we hypothesize that cancer is a stem-cell rather than
    genetic or metabolic disease, then we need to consider
    genetic content and metabolic activity in the proper cellular
    context. We need to account for glycolysis and OXOPHOS, as
    well as glucose, glutamine, arginine, and other metabolic
    substrates and cancer metabolites in the right metabolic
    perspective and narrative (Table 2). We need to treat both
    CSCs, non-CSCs, and the onco-niche.

    In conclusion, two processes are important for cancer initiation
    and subsequent development: mutations in nuclear DNA induced by
    free radical oxidative damage and inflammation. Given the
    antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action of CoQ10, the latter
    would be expected to protect against cancer initiation. There is
    support for this scenario where reduced levels of CoQ10 have been
    identified as a risk factor for the development of several types
    of cancer, as noted above.

What’s New in Inflammation and Prostate Cancer | Prostate Cancer
Foundation
https://www.pcf.org/c/whats-new-in-inflammation-and-prostate-cancer/

    Better known as a nasty gastrointestinal bug, E. coli causes
    inflammation in the urinary tract and is a known cause of
    bacterial prostatitis.
    As the scientists discovered, colibactin, a genotoxin produced by
    some strains of E. coli, can also instigate a series of
    unfortunate events in the prostate. Bacterial infection leads to
    acute and chronic inflammation, which can lead to the development
    of a lesion in the prostate called proliferative inflammatory
    atrophy (PIA), first described by De Marzo, William (Bill)
    Nelson, M.D., Ph.D., and other Brady scientists; it can also
    cause DNA damage. The presence of colibactin is even more
    ominous, because it can directly lead to double-stranded DNA
    breakage.

    Sfanos suspects that this combination leads, in turn, to another
    development: fusion of two genes, TMPRSS2 and ERG, that normally
    should remain separate, but in this case get abnormally spliced
    together. This TMPRSS2/ERG fusion – found in as many as half of
    all prostate cancers – is thought to be an early event leading to
    the development of prostate cancer.

    Continuous proliferation of the aforementioned pathogenic
    bacteria might eventually change or outcompete natural
    microbiome of the prostatic tissue. This may lead to chronic
    inflammation and immune imbalance. When stimulated by
    bacterial components, phagocytes (mainly macrophages) release
    reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species. These
    factors may directly damage DNA and cause genetic instability
    [11]. Thus, induced oxidative stress and the consequent
    cellular damage can stimulate proliferation of atrophic
    luminal epithelial cells, creating regions known as
    proliferative inflammatory atrophy (PIA), i.e., precursors of
    prostate malignancies [25].

Hydrogen Peroxide v. Prostate Cancer
http://educate-yourself.org/cn/hydrogenperoxideandprostatecancer14oct05.shtml

    Research has explored how high doses of vitamin C can produce
    hydrogen peroxide, a substance that can kill cancer cells. Unlike
    cancer cells, normal cells have the ability to break down
    hydrogen peroxide and prevent it from causing damage. This
    selective toxicity makes high-dose vitamin C an intriguing
    complementary approach in cancer care.

High Dose Vitamin C IV Drip London
https://integratedmedicine.co/complementary-cancer-care/iv-drips/iv-infusions-menu/high-dose-vitamin-c-iv-drip/

    Additionally, in all the cases high dose IV vitamin C also
    prolonged the lives of these cancer patients. Using this
    rationale, we also treated our patient with high dose IV vitamin
    C for prostate cancer and had a positive outcome.
    ...
    At normal physiologic concentrations, vitamin C acts as an
    antioxidant that inactivates reactive oxygen species. However at
    high pharmacologic concentrations vitamin C acts a pro-oxidant by
    generating oxidative species such extracellular hydrogen peroxide
    [13,14]. This hydrogen peroxide generated is delivered to tissues
    but not found in the blood [9]. Several in vitro studies have
    shown that the extracellular vitamin C, that generates hydrogen
    peroxide, kills away the cancer cells selectively but does not
    harm the normal cells [13]. This vitamin C mediated cancer cell
    death, is only obtained when vitamin C is administered
    intravenously.

    The mechanism of action of vitamin C is intricate, yet deadly to
    the cancer cells. Extracellular hydrogen peroxide from high doses
    of vitamin C diffuses into the cancer cells and causes toxicity
    in these cells by ATP depletion which eventually leads to cell
    death [16]. Additionally, hydrogen peroxide toxicity compromises
    membrane glucose metabolism and DNA integrity in the cancer cells
    [16]. In the normal cells hydrogen peroxide is readily
    neutralized by antioxidant enzymes such as catalase, glutathione
    peroxidase and superoxide dismutase. The level of these enzymes
    in cancer cells is low which causes the toxicity and cancer cell
    death [15].

    Additionally, the patient also took the Salerno Abe Factors
    which contains Green Tea Leaf extract, L-Carnosine,
    Quercetin, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Resveratrol and Benfotiamine,
    the highest available concentrations in the world. All the
    nutrients mentioned here have powerful antioxidant
    capabilities. Additionally, studies have shown that Quercetin
    exerts a direct, pro-apoptotic effect in tumor cells and
    blocks the growth of several human cell lines at different
    phases of the cell cycle [17].

    Emerging evidence now shows that concentrations of vitamin C at a
    concentration of 1000e5000 mmol/L are selectively toxic to cancer
    cells [9]. This concentration is achieved only through
    intravenous administration of vitamin C. In the case report
    presented above, using high dose IV vitamin C, we were able to
    show that the vascular area in the prostate gland disappeared
    after about 10 months of treatment. These data confer some
    validation that vitamin C can offer anti-tumor effects and
    further studies are warranted to learn its complete role.
