A member asked:
64 yr. old man with prior successful prostate cancer radiation treatment 3 yrs ago. solar plexus pain. what organ if concern with cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be...: After a successful rt for prostate cancer(pca), the patient will still require a lifelong f/u for possible rising psa after definitive rx; it's reasonable to do so every 6 months for the described one by repeating psa and with clinical assessment. Solar plexus pain is very unlikely related with pca. Instead, consider hypertension-related or idiopathic. Pca-related pain occurs in its late stage.
