Here are...: After a successful radical prostatectomy rp) for prostate cancer, psa is expected to be around 0.01-0.02 ng/ml. But, no matter who did it and how was done, some one third of post-rp are still expected to have rising psa in time of f/u, which may suggest 3 things: local recurrence, or spread to nearby tissue such as regional ln, or spread to far sites such as lungs, rib, spine, or pelvic bone.
