Rise in psa after radiation and hormone treatment?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
How much?: A rising psa represents increasing mass of prostatic tissue, including increasing mass of prostatic cancer tissue. Lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and your doctor is in the best position to do that.
