Living with advanced prostate cancer can be overwhelming. It’s important to understand both the disease and your treatment so you can take an active role in making decisions about your care.
If your prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level rises consistently while receiving treatment that lowers testosterone, it could mean your prostate cancer is progressing. Progression means the cancer is getting worse or spreading.
When this happens, your treatment may change. That’s why your doctor may prescribe XTANDI—a treatment that can help slow progression.
