Among men with PSA persistence after radical prostatectomy, a higher preoperative PSA surprisingly was linked to lower mortality. Men with PSA persistence and preoperative PSA >20 ng/mL had 31% lower ...
I am a 74-year-old man. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2019 and had my prostate removed in 2021. My PSA level was 0.39 on my three-month follow-up visit, but it has increased to 1.460. In my ...
A new study led by UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center investigators suggests that adding hormone therapy to post ...
After surgical removal of the prostate to treat prostate cancer, clinicians monitor Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) levels. Persistently elevated PSA levels indicate residual cancer and are linked to ...
SAN ANTONIO -- More than 2 years after treatment, no patient with high-risk prostate cancer had a confirmed biochemical recurrence after receiving postoperative apalutamide (Erleada) and androgen ...
However, men with higher PSA levels did show modest improvements in survival, suggesting that hormone therapy might be worthwhile for them. PSA (prostate-specific antigen) is produced by the prostate ...

Persistent vs undetectable PSA after salvage radical prostatectomy is significantly associated with an increased risk for biochemical recurrence, metastasis, and death, investigators reported.
The journey through prostate cancer treatment marks a significant chapter in many men’s lives, with surgery often serving as a pivotal turning point toward recovery. While the removal of cancerous ...
PSA, or prostate-specific antigen, is a protein in the blood produced by the prostate. It is used as an indicator in a man’s blood to determine the health of the prostate. An elevated PSA can indicate ...
