What Causes PSA To Remain High Inspite Of Receiving Radiation Therapy?

In which treatment you use this product?

I know a man who is 58 years old and had prostate cancer, I think his weight is 165 pounds and I do not have his height. He has already received radiation but the PSA is still high and now he has been prescribed to use zintag 250 mg.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
He has prostate cancer so PSA is high. Treatment depends on stage and spread of disease. May be radiation therapy alone is not sufficient to control prostate cancer. Chemotherapy can be taken along with radiation. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
