Silke details the 2025 prostate cancer highlights
Send us a textSeason 3 Episode 17Welcome back to Who's Tom & Dick. In this episode, Patrick and Martin finally sit down together for a proper catch-up since Martin's return home from hospital. It's a conversation that's been a long time coming — honest, unfiltered, and rooted in real life.Martin shares how the past days have been since coming home: the small wins, the ongoing challenges, and what recovery actually looks like away from the hospital ward. Patrick and Martin reflect on the physical and emotional realities of navigating long-term and life-changing health conditions, speaking openly about Multiple Sclerosis, Arthritis, Strokes, and Prostate Cancer — topics that affect so many families, yet are still too often whispered about or avoided altogether.This episode isn't about medical jargon or scare stories. It's about lived experience, resilience, and the importance of talking — properly talking — about health, vulnerability, and support. There are moments of reflection, moments of honesty, and moments where laughter becomes just as important as the conversation itself.And because it wouldn't be Who's Tom & Dick without ending on a high, the episode wraps up with a bit of festive warmth, Christmas cheer, and the return of a firm favourite… Martin's Joke of the Week — proving once again that even in the face of serious challenges, humour still has its place.So make yourself comfortable, grab a brew, and join us for a heartfelt, hopeful, and very Who's Tom & Dick Christmas catch-up.www.whostomanddick.com#HeartTransplant#eatingdisorder#RareCondition#HealthJourney#LifeChangingDiagnosis#MentalHealth#Vulnerability#SelfCompassion#PostTraumaticGrowth#MedicalMiracle#BBCSports#Inspiration#Cardiology#Surgery#Podcast#Healthcare#HeartHealth#MedicalBreakthrough#EmotionalJourney#SupportSystem#HealthcareHeroes#PatientStories#CardiologyCare#MedicalJourney#LifeLessons#MentalWellness#HealthAwareness#InspirationalTalk#LivingWithIllness#RareDiseaseAwareness#SharingIsCaring#MedicalSupport#BBCReporter#HeartDisease#PodcastInterview#HealthTalk#Empowerment#Wellbeing#HealthPodcast#prostatecancer#Aid's#prostateCheck out our website at www.whostomanddick.comCheck out our website at www.whostomanddick.com
"The thought of recurrence is also a psychosocial issue for our patients. They're being monitored very closely for five years, so there's always that thought in the back of their head, 'What if the cancer comes back? What are the next steps? What am I going to do next?' It's really important that we have conversations with patients and their families about where they're at, what we're looking for, and reassure them that we'll be with them during this journey and help them through whatever next steps happen," ONS member Clara Beaver, DNP, RN, AOCNS®, ACNS-BC, manager of clinical education and clinical nurse specialist at Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit, MI, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about prostate cancer survivorship considerations for nurses.

Highlights From This Episode "Some of the most common late side effects [are] urinary, bowel, and sexual dysfunction issues. For urinary effects, it can include urgency and frequency, some incontinence, or a weak or slow urine stream that frequently bothers the patient after treatment. Bowel effects can happen such as constipation, diarrhea, or inflammation of the rectum, which can lead to bleeding or mucus discharge. And then erectile dysfunction is another side effect that patients with prostate cancer often deal with and have to work with their physicians on, depending on what they want with that function. Fatigue, lymphedema, and skin changes can also occur after treatment." TS 1:40 "If we can catch [prostate cancer] and take care of it at an early stage, overall survival is about 90%. If the disease is localized, it's 99%. If we can take out the prostate, radiate the prostate, we can do something with that—localized, 99% survival rate. If there's regional metastasis, it's about 90%. And if there's distant metastasis, it's about 30% survival." TS 3:55 "Prostate cancer recurs in about 20%–30% of patients within the first five years of initial treatment. ... There's not a lot of research out there that shows what can reduce risk, but what has been shown to be effective is regular exercise, quitting smoking, and eating a healthy diet. ... It's really important for our patients to understand the importance of having follow-up visits so that we can catch a recurrence quickly instead of waiting years down the road. Prostate cancer is usually a slow-growing disease, so if we can pick it up quickly in those revisits, we can start another treatment for the patient." TS 6:00 "Sexuality is not something many people are comfortable discussing, but we really need to talk with patients and let them know that this is normal. It is normal that you may have some sexual dysfunction. It's normal that you may not feel the way you did before. Talk to us about it, let us know where you're at, let us know what your goals are, because there are a lot of things we can do. There are medications we can use for impedance. There are devices and implants available to help the patient to support them and give them whatever their goal is for their sexuality." TS 9:41 "Providing survivorship care plans are important for these patients—something that can be sent off to everyone else that's caring for that patient. You have your primary care physician, urologist, oncologist, the oncology nurse, maybe a navigator, and [others] who are looking into this patient. So, giving that patient a survivor care plan and putting it with their files to include a summary of the treatment received, because most of the time a patient is not going to remember exactly what they received. A suggested schedule for follow-up exams—so again, if a primary care provider is not used to dealing with a patient with prostate cancer, they have something to go off of. A schedule of other tests they may need in the future including screening for other types of cancer. Are they a smoker? Do they need lung screening? Do they need any other screenings related to types of cancers? And then a list of possible late or long-term side effects." TS 15:16 "I think a lot of people know about the long-term sexual effects, but what we don't really talk about is the effect that it has on the patient's self-image. How they define themselves, how they look, their body image, their self-image. It's really important that we continue to discuss it with patients and make them comfortable when discussing their sexuality and their goals for sexuality. They may be having these self-image issues after treatment that they're just not telling us about and that can affect their quality of life." TS 18:38

Fear can turn even measured men into urgent patients and nowhere is that more obvious than in prostate cancer treatment. In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti addresses this fear-driven reflex, reminding men that clarity comes not from panic, but from understanding how the system often uses fear to push unnecessary interventions. He exposes why biopsies, radiation, surgery, and castration therapies are recommended far more often than they are needed. Dr. Stephen explains how medical bias guides many of these decisions, and he highlights major studies like PIVOT and ProtecT trials that show most aggressive treatments don't improve survival, but they do harm vitality and long‑term health. He also breaks down how urgency is manufactured. Prostate cancer is rarely an emergency, and men almost always have time to think, ask questions, and explore options.For anyone sensing pressure to act fast, this episode offers a clear perspective.

In Episode 100, Jamie and Matt reflect on a year that fundamentally reshaped how Matt experiences healthcare—as both a patient and a caregiver. Matt shares an update on his active surveillance prostate cancer journey, including lifestyle changes, monitoring, and learning to live with uncertainty.The conversation expands beyond Matt's diagnosis to include the realities of caregiving: navigating a father's dementia and hospice journey, processing anticipatory grief and loss, supporting a teenage daughter through surgery, and helping a mother recover after a stroke. Matt speaks candidly about caregiver burnout, moments of emotional paralysis, and the importance of asking for help.Together, Jamie and Matt explore how grief lingers, how recovery often proves harder than the crisis itself, and why healthcare must focus on what happens after discharge. Episode 100 closes with a powerful reminder: it's okay not to be okay—but it's not okay to face it alone.
Note: This episodes contains discussion and language of a sexual nature and may not be appropriate for all audiences.In this episode of Marrow Masters, we sit down with Dr. Christian Nelson, a psychologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and an expert in psycho-oncology, to address a deeply personal yet often overlooked topic: male sexual dysfunction following cancer treatment. Together, we explore how treatments can impact not only physical function but emotional well-being, identity, and relationships.We start by acknowledging that sexual dysfunction is one of the most common side effects of cancer treatment, second only to fatigue. Yet, it's rarely discussed. Dr. Nelson emphasizes the importance of normalizing the conversation and encouraging patients to raise the issue with their treatment teams. He walks us through the emotional toll that erectile dysfunction can take on men, noting how it strikes at the core of masculinity and can lead to increased depression, frustration, and a general sense of brokenness. He stresses that it's not just about what happens in the bedroom—erectile issues can spill over into all aspects of a man's life, including his relationship with his partner.Dr. Nelson outlines a range of treatment options, from well-known medications like Viagra to lesser-known but effective methods like penile injections and implants. He breaks down the fear around these options, especially injections, and highlights how pain levels are often far lower than anticipated. Beyond physical treatments, we discuss the emotional and relational work that's often required. One key issue is avoidance—men avoiding sexual situations due to performance anxiety, which can snowball into long-term distance and silence between partners. Dr. Nelson makes it clear: the real risk isn't failure, it's not trying.We also dive into how couples can redefine intimacy. Many men associate sex solely with penetration, while their partners often value closeness and emotional connection more. Dr. Nelson advocates for expanding the sexual repertoire and restoring non-sexual forms of affection, which can be just as meaningful. We talk about the impact of testosterone—how its depletion can lower libido and cause men to unknowingly withdraw from their partners—and how testosterone replacement may be a viable option for some, depending on cancer type and treatment history.As roles shift from caregiver back to partner post-treatment, Dr. Nelson stresses the importance of open communication. He urges couples to work toward understanding each other's perspectives, not convincing each other. He shares an "aha" moment involving a couple who waited five years before seeking help, only to reconnect within three sessions after simply opening the lines of communication. The takeaway: don't wait.We close by pointing listeners toward additional resources, including certified sex therapists and specialized urologists, and Dr. Nelson highlights two key professional directories: SSTAR and AASECT. We're reminded that even the simplest questions—like whether it's okay to kiss your partner—deserve answers. It's on all of us, both patients and providers, to make room for these conversations.More:Episode with Dr. Flores: https://marrowmasters.simplecast.com/episodes/mens-sexual-health-gvhdEpisode with Dr. El Jawahri: https://marrowmasters.simplecast.com/episodes/dr-el-jawahriSSTAR (Society for Sex Therapy and Research) – https://sstarnet.orgAASECT (American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists) – https://www.aasect.orgThanks to our Season 19 sponsors, Incyte and Sanofi.https://incyte.com/https://www.sanofi.com/en00:00 - Introduction to Season 19 and Dr. Christian Nelson 01:16 - Normalizing Conversations on Sexual Dysfunction 04:50 - Emotional Toll of Erectile Dysfunction 07:06 - Treatments: Pills, Injections, and Implants 09:03 - Avoidance and Anxiety in Sexual Relationships 12:17 - Expanding the Definition of Intimacy 16:43 - Role of Testosterone in Sexual Health 20:05 - Shifting from Caregiver to Partner 22:17 - Resources and Where to Get Help 26:29 - A Patient Story: Five Years of Silence 28:07 - Closing Thoughts and Resources National Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKFollow the nbmtLINK on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/nbmtlink/The nbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.To participate in the GVHD Mosaic, click here: https://amp.livemosaics.com/gvhd Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Brian Crombie is joined by Dr. Anna Wilkinson, a family physician with a special interest in oncology and an Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa, for a timely and evidence-based conversation about prostate cancer screening — and why current approaches may need to change. Dr. Wilkinson bridges primary care and oncology, studying how screening guidelines translate into real-world outcomes. In this episode, she explains why prostate cancer screening today looks very different than it did decades ago, and why outdated assumptions may be contributing to rising rates of advanced, incurable disease.Topics discussed include:
A longer, stronger life often begins with one intentional step. Yet the simplest habits are the ones we underestimate most. In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti highlights one remarkable practice that research links to a 61% reduction in prostate cancer mortality rooted in longevity, practicality, and everyday discipline. He walks listeners through the science behind this habit: three hours per week of vigorous walking. He explains how the right type and duration of movement supports immune function, slows cancer progression, and enhances overall vitality. He also breaks down why extreme exercise backfires, why muscle mass and protein intake matter more than people think, and how simple resistance training can strengthen the body's defenses.He offers guidance on how men can maintain strength, confidence, and energy even when navigating elevated PSA levels or prostate cancer diagnoses.Take a moment for your future health and put these principles to work for your longevity.

In this episode, Ashutosh (Ash) K. Tewari, MD, Urologist and Prostate Cancer Specialist and Chairman of the Milton and Carroll Petrie Department of Urology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, discusses the rise in prostate cancer cases, strategies to reduce treatment-related side effects, and how mobile units are expanding outreach to improve patient access and early detection.
Late-stage prostate cancer diagnoses are on the rise in Canada. According to a recent study, between 2010 and 2021, rates of prostate cancer discovered at Stage 4 increased by about 50 per cent in men aged 50 to 74. In men over the age of 75, rates were up over 65 per cent.There is a simple blood test that can screen for early signs of prostate cancer, called a prostate specific antigen, or PSA test; however, in 2014, Canada recommended against using the PSA for widespread screening. Today, Globe health reporter Kelly Grant explains what this study found and why these guidelines are so highly contested in Canada.Questions? Comments? Ideas?

A prostate cancer support group in Ardnacrusha is offering vital help to men and their families, thanks to the work of founder Tony Bridgeman, who set it up in April 2023. Among those involved is Phelim Warren, a cancer survivor whose own diagnosis came as a shock despite having no symptoms. His story highlights the importance of regular blood tests, early detection and open conversations around men's health. To find out more, Alan Morissey was joined by Tony Bridgeman and Pheilim Warren on Tuesday's Morning Focus.

Today, we'll be tackling the future of prostate cancer care. We'll be reflecting on what prostate cancer care means in practice, how the way we think about the disease is shifting, and must continue to shift in the years ahead. Scientific advances have transformed treatment in recent years, yet the lived reality of prostate cancer still extends far beyond the clinic. The disease reshapes daily life, and may leave men and their families grappling with difficult choices about how best to manage it. Dr. Güneş Taylor is joined by three key voices at the centre of this story, following the prostate cancer journey from diagnosis through to long-term management, and asking how patients and clinicians can work together to re-think what patient-centred care could mean in the years to come.

JR Richardson expressed overwhelming disbelief at his cancer-free diagnosis, stating he had been mentally prepared to die and was still recalibrating his mindset about surviving for his two children aged 15 and 17.Medical misdiagnoses occurred from 2018-2021 when JR's symptoms including pressure in his taint area were attributed to a fistula, fissure, and prostatitis rather than recognizing his PSA level of 21 as a cancer indicator.Healthcare providers failed to communicate the significance of JR's PSA level of 21, simply recommending a blood test without urgency, leading to a delayed diagnosis when his PSA reached 85.6 by the time of proper testing.Oncologist provided a grim prognosis of two to five years with palliative care options including abiraterone, steroids, and hormone blockers, offering no alternative treatment choices.JR declined conventional treatment initially, having been familiar with cannabis oil since Phoenix Tears and connected with Valerie Corral from WAMM, the first cannabis cooperative in the United States.Valerie Corral was identified as the pioneer who developed the 4:1 cannabis ratio and successfully sued the federal government after a farm raid, winning her case with Santa Cruz County support.Cannabis oil treatment began with JR taking a gram of oil he had made, but Corey Yelland advised switching to 4:1 ratio rectal administration for better effectiveness.PSA levels dropped dramatically from 85.6 to 29 within one month of starting 4:1 rectal cannabis treatment, and further decreased to 3.82 after receiving one hormone injection.Continued cannabis treatment brought PSA levels to normal range, with readings of 2.33, 1.82, and stabilizing around 1.72, demonstrating sustained improvement.Stanford Medical provided a second opinion contradicting the initial oncologist's palliative approach, recommending the Stampede Study protocol with pinpoint radiation on lymph nodes and two small spinal spots.Radiation treatment decision was made after consultation with a knowledgeable technician who explained advances in precision radiation technology, addressing JR's concerns about radiation damage based on his aunt's experience.Daily cannabis dosage consisted of at least one gram of CBG orally and two grams rectally with 10-20% lipid addition, plus additional oral THC, prioritizing survival over psychoactive effects.Valerie Corral's experience indicated that long-term cancer survivors in her practice had used both Western medicine and cannabis oil, influencing JR's decision to combine treatments.Recent scan results showed no metabolically active disease in previously affected areas including nodes and spine, confirming complete remission and validating the combined treatment approach.

In this JCO Precision Oncology Article Insights episode, Natalie DelRocco summarizes "Genomic Risk Classifiers in Localized Prostate Cancer: Precise but Not Standardized" by Góes et al. published on September 10, 2025. TRANSCRIPT Natalie DelRocco: Hello and welcome to JCO Precision Oncology Article Insights. I'm your host, Natalie DelRocco, and today we will be discussing the editorial "Genomic Risk Classifiers in Localized Prostate Cancer: Precise but Not Standardized." This editorial by Góes, Li, and Chehrazi-Raffle, and Janopaul-Naylor et al. describes genomic risk classifiers, or GRCs, for patients with localized prostate cancer. Like any risk prediction model, GRCs are intended to help identify groups of patients that may benefit from less intense or more intense anticancer therapy. Risk prediction tools can be difficult to bring into clinical practice; they require a lot of validation. And as the authors describe, GRCs in localized prostate cancer are no exception. The authors of this editorial contextualize an article by Janopaul-Naylor et al., which attempts to retrospectively explore the clinical use of three available GRCs for localized prostate cancer: Decipher, Oncotype DX, and Prolaris. Each of these three GRCs is being used in clinical practice currently. In the original article, all three GRCs were associated with less intense therapy being prescribed in practice. However, the editorial authors note that this is likely selection bias due to the observational nature of the study design. It is conceivable that GRCs were more likely ordered to make decisions for patients who were already thought to be good candidates for less intensive therapy. Another weakness of the retrospective study design is that patient level covariates known to be associated with clinical prognosis in localized prostate cancer, such as staging, Gleason score, prostate specific antigen, were unavailable. The authors note that sampling bias may also be an issue. Uninsured patients are not included in the original article, and therefore may impede the ability to make conclusions about the association of GRC use with income level. The editorial authors highlight important study findings as well as these limitations, such as the heterogeneity of interventions following GRC result return. The Prolaris GRC was found to be associated with more surgical interventions, while the Decipher GRC was associated with more androgen deprivation therapy plus radiation. Additionally, patients with active surveillance were more likely to have a GRC in general ordered. While these conclusions are very interesting, the editorial authors note that further exploration and validation, given the retrospective study design and limitations outlined, are needed to fully understand the impact of GRCs in the practice of treating localized prostate cancer.

"Any time the patient hears the word 'cancer,' they shut down a little bit, right? They may not hear everything that the oncologist or urologist, or whoever is talking to them about their treatment options, is saying. The oncology nurse is a great person to sit down with the patient and go over the information with them at a level they can understand a little bit more. To go over all the treatment options presented by the physician, and again, make sure that we understand their goals of care," ONS member Clara Beaver, DNP, RN, AOCNS®, ACNS-BC, manager of clinical education and clinical nurse specialist at Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit, MI, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about prostate cancer treatment considerations for nurses.

And the medical oncologists usually are not consulted until the patient is at a greater stage of prostate cancer. I find that it's important to state because a lot of our patients start with urologists, and by the time they've come to us, they're a lot further staged. But once a prostate cancer has been suspected, the patient needs to be staged for the extent of disease prior to that physician making any treatment recommendations. The staging includes doing a core biopsy of the prostate gland. During this core biopsy, they take multiple different cores at different areas throughout the prostate to really look to see what the cancer looks like." TS 1:46 "[For] the very low- and low-risk group, the most common [treatment] is active surveillance. ... Patients can be offered other options such as radiation therapy or surgery if they're not happy with active surveillance. ... The intermediate-risk group has favorable and unfavorable [status]. So, if they're a favorable, their Gleason score is usually a bit lower, things are not as advanced. These patients are offered active surveillance and then either radical prostatectomy with possible removal of lymph nodes or radiation—external beam or brachytherapy. If a patient has unfavorable intermediate risk, they are offered radical prostatectomy with removal of lymph nodes, external radiation therapy plus hormone therapy, or external radiation with brachytherapy. All three of these are offered to patients, although most frequently we see that our patients are taken in for radical prostatectomy. For the high- or very high-risk [group], patients are offered radiation therapy with hormone therapy, typically for one to three years. And then radical prostatectomy with removal of lymph nodes could also be offered for those patients." TS 7:55 "Radiation can play a role in any risk group depending on the patient's preference. ... The types of radiation that we use are external beam, brachytherapy, which is an internal therapy, and radiopharmaceuticals, [which are] more for advanced cancer, but we are seeing them used in prostate [cancer] as well. External beam radiation focuses on the tumor and any metastasis we may have with the tumor. It can be used in any risk [group] and for recurrence if radiation has not been done previously. If a patient has already been radiated to the pelvic area or to the prostate, radiation is usually not given again because we don't want to damage the patient any further. Brachytherapy is when we put radioactive pellets directly into the prostate. For early-stage prostate cancer, this can be given alone. And for patients who have a higher risk of the cancer growing outside the prostate, it can be given in combination with external beam radiation. It's important to note with brachytherapy, it cannot be used on patients who've had a transurethral resection of the prostate or any urinary problems. And if the patient has a large prostate, they may have to be on some hormone therapy prior to brachytherapy, just to shrink that prostate down a little bit to get the best effect. ... Radiopharmaceuticals treat the prostate-specific membrane antigen." TS 11:05 "The side effects of surgery are usually what deter the patient from wanting surgery. The first one is urinary incontinence. A lot of times, a patient has a lot of urinary incontinence after they have surgery. The other one is erectile dysfunction. A lot of patients may not want to have erectile dysfunction. Or, if having an erection is important to the patient, they may not want to have surgery to damage that. In this day and age, physicians have gotten a lot better at doing nerve-sparing surgeries. And so they really do try to do that so that the patient does not have any issues with erectile dysfunction after surgery. But [depending on] the extent of the cancer where it's growing around those nerves or there are other things going on, they may not be able to save those nerves." TS 15:26 "Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone, or LHRH antagonists or analogs, lower the amount of testosterone made by the testicles. We're trying to stop those hormones from growing to prevent the cancer. ... When we lower the testosterone very quickly, there can be a lot more side effects. But if we lower it a little bit less, we can maybe help prevent some of them. The side effects are important. When I was writing this up, I was thinking, 'Okay, this is basically what women go through when they go through menopause.' We're decreasing the estrogen. We're now decreasing the testosterone. So, the patients can have reduced or absent sexual desire, they can have gynecomastia, hot flashes, osteopenia, anemia, decreased mental sharpness, loss of muscle mass, weight gain, and fatigue." TS 17:50 "What we all need to remember is that no patient is the same. They may not have the same goals for treatment as the physicians or the nurses want for the patient. We talked about surgery as the most common treatment modality that's presented to patients, but it's not necessarily the option that they want. It's really important for healthcare professionals to understand their biases before talking to the patients and the family. It's also important to remember that not all patients are in heterosexual relationships, so we need to explain recovery after treatment to meet the needs of our patients and their sexual relationships, which is sometimes hard for us. But remembering that—especially gay men—they may not have the same recovery period as a heterosexual male when it comes to sexual relationships. So, making sure that we have those frank conversations with our patients and really check our biases prior to going in and talking with them." TS 27:16
