Biochemical recurrence develops in almost one-third of men with prostate cancer after treatment with prostatectomy or radiation therapy for localized prostate cancer. It often occurs early on in the course of prostate cancer and indicates the cancer might be coming back. Because of this, it has be...
Your doctor will also consider other things, including what your PSA levels were before you had cancer, your overall health, and whether you've had radiation therapy. After radiation therapy it may take 1-2 years for your PSA to drop to its lowest level. ...
levels go up over several tests, especially if it's fast, you may need further treatment. Sometimes, PSA levels go up slightly in people who have had external beam radiation or brachytherapy. Usually, this doesn't have a long-term effect on you, and your levels go back down after a ...
Bounces occur only in men who are treated with radiation therapy and can be ongoing for years. They do not occur after prostatectomy, which reduces PSA to undetectable levels almost immediately after surgery. The Japanese team defines PSA bounce as an increase of at least 0.4 ng/mL from a pr...
To determine if a 6-month post-treatment prostate specific antigen (PSA) value in prostate cancer (PCa) patients treated with concurrent androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) serves as an early predictor for biochemical relapse free survival (bRFS), distant...
1 report the therapeutic outcomes of salvage radiation therapy (sRT) after radical prostatectomy (RP) for lymph‐node‐negative prostate cancer in 422 and 133 patients with biochemical relapse or persistently detectable PSA, respectively. In the total cohort, patients with persistent PSA serum levels ...
In general, the goal is to keep the PSA levels as low as possible or to achieve a significant decrease in PSA levels over time. However, the specific target levels may differ based on individual circumstances and treatment goals. For example, after surgery or radiation therapy, the target PSA...

It is stated that the improved techniques will help men with prostate cancer to attain reductions in PSA after radiation treatment. According to the researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, undetectable PSA (UDPSA) can usually be achieved after radiation therapy alone. 年份: 2009 ...
Thirty-eight patients with increased PSA levels (0.8-9.5 ng/ml) after radical treatment for prostate cancer (surgery n = 20/radiation therapy n = 18) were included. Ten patients were on hormone therapy. All patients underwent a PET/CT with 11C-choline and 18F-FDG, respectively, on the sam...
