Good prognosis following a PSA bounce after high dose rate brachytherapy and external radiotherapy in prostate cancer.

CONCLUSION: PSA bounce after HDR-BT combined with ERT is common and associated with a good prognosis. As the relapse risk after an early bounce is very low, the findings should alert clinicians not to initiate salvage treatment too early. Research in prospective identification of PSA bounce is clinically relevant. PMID: 30193693 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
