Despite more than seven decades of knowledge about the effect of testosterone suppression on prostate cancer there is still a treatment dilemma of when to expose seemingly healthy men to the downsides of castration in the event of risin...
After RP, a detectable serum PSA has been considered suggestive of PCA recurrence. After RT, the ASTRO definition of BCR has been widely used to define BCR. Both of these definitions of BCR are subject to dispute. The kinetics of a rising PSA (PSA doubling time) appears to be the best ...

A UCLA-led study has found treatments that reduce the risk of being diagnosed with a cancer recurrence based on rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels after radiotherapy, commonly referred to as biochemical recurrence, do not necessarily improve a patient's long-term overall survival. ...
Rising PSA after radiation therapy is an all too frequent occurrence. Standard tests, such as CT and bone scan, are notoriously poor for being able to find the site of disease. 111In-capromab pendetide (Prostascint) also has limited value in this group of patients. While data on (11)C...
If you still have PSA in your blood, your doctor may suggest a few more PSA tests to see if this level goes up over time and, if so, how fast it's rising. If your PSA rises fast after surgery, that may indicate that your cancer is still a concern and you need further treatment....

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...
A PSA velocity test measures the change in your PSA levels over time. PSA doubling time tests calculate how long it takes for your PSA levels to double. If they rise quickly, it could be a sign of cancer. Knowing how fast yours is rising can help your doctor predict whether your cancer...
