PSA - prostrate cancer treated with external beam radiation - Lex0307


Posted: Oct 24, 2009

past medical history: prostrate cancer treated with external beam radiation. Sentence in question: PSA on Nilandron 150 mg daily has been eleveated but stable with  last PSA s/l "of his" 4.8. Question: (1) Should there be a comma between stable and with?  (2) what are the chances of him really say PSA of his 4.8 or am I missing a key word here?? Thanks for any and all suggestions.    

PSA sentence - jaf

I would recast the sentence: PSA on Nilandron 150 mg daily has been elevated but stable, with his last PSA of 4.8.

thanks! - lex0307

So what is this thing?? Am I completely off on this term? It is pretty garbled. ...

Jun 14, 2013

In a cancer report, the doctor gave a diagnosis of Stage IIIC T4aN2M0 cancer.  Then she later said, He was staged as a pathological T4aN2a.  She added the a and dropped the M0.   I listened very carefully for the diagnosis and later in the problem list.  She does not add the a after the N2 in either place.    Does anyone know why it is N2a in one place but just N2 in the DX?  ...
