The lower the PSA level at 5 years, the more durable the probability of maintained biochemical disease-free survival (p <0.0001). The yearly hazard rates of biochemical progression ranged from 3.1% to 6.6% in the 5–10 years after RT. Conclusion: When PSA levels remain low (<2 ng/mL) ...
After radiation therapy for prostate cancer.Your PSA will likely drop to its lowest point slowly over about 2 years after radiation. Your doctor will test your PSA levels every couple of months. Again, if your PSA levels go up over several tests, especially if it's fast, you may need fur...
Then you'll have repeat PSA tests once every 6 to 12 months for about 5 years. If your doctor says chances are high that your cancer will come back, you may need them once every 3 months. If your PSA levels stay normal, you can switch to once-a-year PSA tests. Ask your doctor h...
The PSA test is used to monitor men after surgery or radiation therapy for prostate cancer to see if their cancer has recurred (come back). If a man’s PSA level begins to rise after prostate cancer treatment, it...

Also, if you’re diagnosed with a urinary tract infection, you have to wait until after the infection has cleared up before you have a PSA test. 5) Aging As we age, the prostate gland increases in size, and the PSA levels go up. In general, everything that increases the size of the...

Biochemical outcome after radical prostatectomy among men with normal preoperative serum prostate‐specific antigen levels On multivariate analysis, only serum PSA level (P < 0.001) and biopsy Gleason score (P < 0.001) predicted the time to disease recurrence. When only ... SJ Freedland,WJ Aronson...
