Pcan proststate cancer come back if the prostate has been removed?

Yes: Prostate cancer cells (any most any cancer for that matter) can spread via blood and lymphatics to other places (especially bone) so even if the prostate is removed, a patient may have a recurrence. It really did not "come back". It was there from the beginning but too small to be detected.

Yes: It is possible to have recurrent disease even after radical prostatectomy.
