When your PSA level starts to rise, that indicates the emergence of growing, resistant cancer cells.Did you know that switching prednisone to dexamethasone (but continuing abiraterone) might lead to another PSA response.(This is only appropriate for men who do not have cancer-related symptoms when the PSA starts to rise.)By making this switch, roughly 30% of men will see a PSA response of 50% or greater.For men who respond to this strategy, it might delay the time until your doctor needs to make a more significant change in your treatment plan.Ask your doctor about this if you think it may be appropriate for you.”
