A member asked:
What is the time and duration taken to complete salvage radiation therapy for prostate cancer after prostate removal to get rid metastatic ca and at what psa level after radical prostatectomy should start salvage radiation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prostate Ca ?'s: After "radical prostatectomy" a PSA level should be near zero, and if present at all, other studies ( PET scan) may be indicated prior to any form of "salvage radiation" to treat possible metastatic prostate cancer.
