The definition and implications of biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy, including the role of PSA velocity and doubling time.
After radical prostatectomy, the first PSA check is usually delayed until the immediate postoperative PSA has cleared (commonly 6–8 weeks), and major guideline frameworks recommend more frequent testi...
markedly increases the ability to localize recurrent prostate cancer when PSA rises after radical prostatectomy, often converting previously “undetectable” into identifiable local, nodal, or distant l...
Yes — a rise in prostate‑specific antigen (PSA) after radical prostatectomy is commonly the earliest laboratory sign that prostate cancer may have recurred, but interpretation depends on timing, magni...
Three major prostate‑cancer guideline bodies—NCCN, AUA, and EAU—agree on the central role of serial PSA after radical prostatectomy but diverge on measurement sensitivity, timing of intervention, imag...
The median time to biochemical recurrence (BCR) after (RP) is not a single fixed number but typically falls in the 20–38 month window (roughly 1.7–3.2 years) in contemporary series, with many cohort-l...
sits clearly above commonly used biochemical‑recurrence thresholds after prostatectomy and in the zone where modern imaging can often localize disease, but it is still a low absolute value whose clini...
PSMA PET/CT markedly improves detection of recurrent prostate cancer at very low PSA levels and changes salvage radiotherapy (sRT) plans in a majority of cases, but definitive evidence that PET-guided...
