Abstract

Salvage radiotherapy (SRT) is a curative treatment option in patients with biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP). Undetectable prostate-specific antigen (PSA) < 0.1 ng/mL following SRT predicts biochemical progression-free survival (BPFS). The aim of this large retrospective study was to evaluate whether this effect persists in an extended follow-up of >5 years.
