Cal Thomas Says PSA Fell to 0 After 38 Prostate Cancer Treatments

Summary
Cal Thomas said his PSA dropped to zero and his tumor disappeared after 38 radiation treatments for prostate cancer, plus ongoing hormone therapy.
A PSA reading of 9.0 and a Gleason score of 9 led to a biopsy that found a cancerous tumor pressing against his rectal wall; he chose radiation and hormones over surgery.
Thomas said he will stay on a hormone drug for two years and used his recovery to urge men over 50 — and younger higher-risk men — to get regular PSA checks.
The American Cancer Society estimates 333,830 new U.S. prostate cancer cases and 36,320 deaths in 2026; survival is 99% when the disease is caught before it spreads.
