Synopsis
The doctors focus on the difficulty in declaring a patient 'cured' and the implications of biochemical recurrence after treatment. Dr. Morgan highlights the importance of PSA in the postoperative setting and explores the role of the Decipher Prostate Genomic Classifier in personalizing treatment. He talks through the latest AUA/ASTRO/SUO consensus on biochemical recurrence guidelines, including the significance of early salvage therapy and the integration of advanced imaging techniques like PSMA PET scans. Further, Dr. Morgan emphasizes the role for multidisciplinary evaluation, patient counseling, and future directions of research to refine treatment options.
This discussion underscores the transition from adjuvant to early salvage radiation as a standard practice and considers emerging biomarker strategies to inform treatment decisions.
