Pretreatment PSA levels affects the completion rate of Ra-223 treatment

Abstract The aim of this study was to review our initial experience of using radium 223 (Ra-223) for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and to evaluate whether pretreatment PSA levels correlate with completion of Ra-223 treatment. In addition, we examined change ratios of PSA, AL...
