Can Chemo Cause Raising PSA Despite Hormone Replacement In A Person Who Came Out Of Prostrate Cancer?
My husband had prostate cancer 12 years ago. He had surgery, radiation and has been hormone replacement for about 10 years. All was well. Until he was diagnosed with B cell Non hodgkin,s lymphoma this year. He has completed 5 out of 6 chemos and all is well. However PSA is rising despite the hormone replacement, Chould chemo have cause this?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
Yes,it is possbile and PSA levels may fluctuate after chemoth and radioth-However psa shouldnt be in constant elevation. so he should rule out other more serious causes of PSA elevation but i dont think he should be concerend at this point.
Wish you good health,regards.
