A rising PSA after radical prostatectomy usually signals remaining prostate tissue—most often recurrent cancer—but timing and test sensitivity matter: guidelines and studies warn that PSA can persist ...
Recent studies and guideline summaries show clinicians have routinely checked PSA 6–8 weeks (1.5–2 months) after radical prostatectomy, but new large analyses argue waiting at least three months reduc...
A rising or “spike” in PSA after robotic (or any) radical prostatectomy can mean different things: persistent or recurrent prostate cancer, residual benign prostate tissue, or simply timing/measuremen...
Recent large-cohort evidence and guideline summaries disagree about the ideal timing for the first definitive post‑prostatectomy PSA check: traditional practice often measures PSA at about 1.5–2 month...
Three categories of randomized trials are actively testing whether PSMA PET–guided changes to salvage radiotherapy improve outcomes: a completed/phase‑II randomized study reported in meetings with a f...
PSA usually falls to very low or undetectable levels after radical prostatectomy within about 4–12 weeks; multiple authorities say roughly 4–8 weeks or "about two months," while some cohort data repor...
New large-cohort data and multiple clinical guides agree that PSA should fall to very low or undetectable levels after radical prostatectomy, but measuring PSA too early (around 1.5–2 months) can misc...
After radical prostatectomy, most clinical sources say PSA falls to very low or undetectable levels within weeks to a few months — commonly cited windows are “within a couple of months” or roughly 6–8...
Current professional guidance typically calls for frequent PSA checks after radical prostatectomy—commonly every 3 months in the early years and then less often—while recent large-cohort data argue wa...
PSA usually falls to very low or undetectable levels within about 4–8 weeks after radical prostatectomy, because the main PSA source (the prostate) has been removed . New large-cohort analyses argue w...
After radical prostatectomy (RP) PSA typically falls to a very low or undetectable level within about 2 months, but recent large-cohort research and several specialist bodies argue for waiting at leas...
Major clinical guidance and recent studies agree that PSA usually falls to very low or undetectable levels after radical prostatectomy, but the timing varies: traditional advice is to wait 6–8 weeks (...
After radical prostatectomy, , with multiple studies and expert sources recommending at least a 3-month window before interpreting persistent PSA to avoid overtreatment and to identify true biochemica...
