Prostate Cancer Bone Metastasis: Why Standard Treatment Fails Men and What to Do Instead

Prostate cancer that spreads to the bone does not automatically mean surrendering vitality or choice.

In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti explains why standard treatments for prostate cancer bone metastasis often miss the mark. He breaks down how aggressive testosterone suppression can ease symptoms in the short term, yet frequently leads to fatigue, weakness, and limited long-term benefit. 

Dr. Stephen presents a more intentional path forward, one that prioritizes quality of life alongside disease control. He discusses why repeated biopsies and invasive interventions may do more harm than good, and how strategies such as symptom-guided care, intermittent therapy, and carefully considered testosterone approaches may help preserve energy, cognition, and sexual health.

Rethink what effective treatment means and engage with an approach centered on living well, not simply enduring. Watch the full episode of Prostate Cancer Bone Metastasis: Why Standard Treatment Fails Men and What to Do Instead.

Why The Gleason Scores Fail Men

A diagnosis should bring clarity, not confusion or fear. Yet for decades, men have been handed a Gleason score and told it defines their future. 

In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti challenges the long-standing reliance on Gleason scores and explains why they fail to measure what matters most: cancer behavior over time. He breaks down how the score originated as a visual estimate and why interpretations vary widely between pathologists.

Dr. Stephen explains the difference between static labels and dynamic assessment, showing why sequential PSA trends and modern prostate MRI offer more meaningful insight than a single biopsy result. He also addresses the real risks of biopsy itself, including disruption of tissue, while drawing parallels to outdated medical practices.

Question assumptions and take part in a new way of thinking that prioritizes outcomes. Watch the full episode of Why The Gleason Scores Fail Men.

PSA Rising: Stop Letting Them Scare You

A rising PSA can be a useful signal not a verdict on your health. It’s an opportunity to slow down, think clearly, and make thoughtful decisions.

In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti explains why PSA increases and so‑called “biochemical recurrence” often trigger unnecessary panic. He breaks down why dozens of definitions exist in the medical literature and why a rising number alone rarely signals imminent danger. Drawing on real patient cases, he shows how PSA fluctuations can occur without symptoms, visible disease, or loss of vitality.

Dr. Stephen emphasizes rational monitoring over reflexive treatment.

If rising PSA levels have sparked anxiety or pressure to act fast, let this episode be your reset. Tune in here: How Fear Sells Prostate Cancer Treatment.

How Fear Sells Prostate Cancer Treatment

Fear can turn even measured men into urgent patients and nowhere is that more obvious than in prostate cancer treatment. 

In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti addresses this fear-driven reflex, reminding men that clarity comes not from panic, but from understanding how the system often uses fear to push unnecessary interventions. He exposes why biopsies, radiation, surgery, and castration therapies are recommended far more often than they are needed. 

Dr. Stephen explains how medical bias guides many of these decisions, and he highlights major studies like PIVOT and ProtecT trials that show most aggressive treatments don’t improve survival, but they do harm vitality and long‑term health. He also breaks down how urgency is manufactured. 

Prostate cancer is rarely an emergency, and men almost always have time to think, ask questions, and explore options.

For anyone sensing pressure to act fast, this episode offers a clear perspective. Tune in here: How Fear Sells Prostate Cancer Treatment.

The Hidden Cost of Androgen Deprivation Therapy

Testosterone is often blamed for fueling prostate cancer but many men never hear that losing it too soon may cause far more harm.

In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti challenges long‑held assumptions about Androgen Deprivation Therapy and explains why lowering testosterone rarely delivers the long‑term benefits men are promised. He breaks down how castration therapy, whether through injections, pills, or surgical removal, leads to a rapid decline in vitality: weaker muscles, cognitive slowdown, loss of libido, weight gain, and higher risks of heart disease and dementia.  

Through real patient stories and clear clinical reasoning, Dr. Stephen shows how men can stay healthy for years, even with high PSAs, when they resist fear‑driven treatment decisions. He emphasizes the importance of MRI monitoring, thoughtful timing, and avoiding biopsies that create unnecessary risk.

Prostate Biopsies: The Hidden Risk No One Told You About

Most men hear “you need a biopsy” and assume it’s the responsible next step. But what if the real risk is the procedure itself?

In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti breaks down the painful, under‑recognized consequences of prostate biopsies: lingering pain, infections, hospitalizations, urinary obstruction, erectile issues, and long-term trauma to a vital gland. He highlights research suggesting that disrupting the prostate capsule may allow cancer cells to spread, a risk rarely mentioned in the exam room.

Drawing from the ProtecT trial and other pivotal studies, Dr. Stephen makes a compelling case that biopsies do not improve survival and instead create a “treadmill” of anxiety, repeated testing, and unnecessary treatment. He shows how PSA, MRI, and clinical judgment can guide care safely without puncturing the gland.

PSA Rising? Ask These 3 Questions

Staying strong through prostate cancer means more than treatments and procedures.

In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti offers a clear, rational approach to understanding what a PSA increase really means and how to respond with confidence. Dr. Stephen explains why so many men fall into what he calls “PSA paranoia,” where a single number sparks panic and unnecessary interventions. He breaks down the facts: PSA levels naturally rise with age and prostate size, and even temporary factors, like illness, sex, or biking, can cause fluctuations. 

Instead of rushing into biopsies or aggressive treatments, he guides listeners to ask three essential questions before taking action: Is the number accurate? What’s causing the rise? And is intervention actually necessary? Through his Intellectual Medicine Petteruti Protocol, Dr. Stephen emphasizes proactive, evidence-based care that protects both health and quality of life.
