Risk assessment of late biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy: Usefulness of ultra‐sensitive prostate‐specific antigen measurement
Among patients whose PSA levels remain below 0.02 ng/mL at 5 years after RP, the risk of subsequent late biochemical recurrence is very low. Utilizing ultra-sensitive PSA measurements at the 5-year mark can provide useful information regarding the need for follow-up beyond 5 years.
