Doctor’s bat encounter triggers rabies PSA and safety tips

A Richmond gastroenterologist woke up to a bat burrowing between her lips, captured the animal for rabies testing, and began rabies treatment as a precaution since she hadn’t been vaccinated. The bat tested negative, but she urges people to check older homes for bat entry points and seek immediate medical advice if a bat touched someone, as bat bites can be tiny and rabies can be fatal if untreated. Share practical steps: avoid touching bats, capture them safely with gloves and a box, call the state health department for testing, and seal attic/chimney openings to keep bats out.

Ultra-low PSA target linked to better survival in metastatic prostate cancer

Ultra-low PSA target linked to better survival in metastatic prostate cancer

A real-world Veterans Health Administration study of 4,890 men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer found that achieving a PSA below 0.2 ng/mL within 9 months of starting testosterone-deprivation therapy was associated with a 54% lower risk of death over a median follow-up of about 2 years. Notably, patients who only achieved a 90% PSA decline without hitting the 0.2 ng/mL threshold did not see a survival benefit. The findings suggest targeting PSA <0.2 ng/mL as a key treatment-success metric and indicate that more aggressive therapy may be warranted for those who do not reach this level; adding another drug to further block testosterone improved odds of reaching the threshold.

New Stockholm3 Test Signals Aggressive Prostate Cancer Earlier Than PSA

A large Swedish study found the Stockholm3 blood test detects 90% of aggressive prostate cancers over two years, outperforming the PSA test (74%) and potentially reducing unnecessary MRIs and biopsies. Stockholm3 is investigational and not yet US-approved; researchers plan FDA submission to pursue routine screening, with biopsy still required to confirm cancer. The study followed 12,000 men (mostly Swedish/European), with 443 aggressive cancers diagnosed in follow-up.
