PSA after Robotic Prostatectomy
Question:
”I had the Da Vinci prostatectomy 12/20/10 my first PSA was 0. But after that the following 3 months it swent up some points. What should I do or what test should I take?”.
Answer:
Marvin, Elevations of PSA after primary treatment need to be addressed with a sense of urgency. Locally salvage treatments – in your case external beam radiation – have limited value after the PSA reaches a level of 2.
In order to better determine how active is the recurrent disease, we published guidelines that can be seen at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18423743.
