Method to determine the nadir PSA following partial gland ablation

A method for determining the nPSA following PGA using brachytherapy was developed. The formula relies on complete ablation of the treated volume, which resulted in no PSA contribution from that component. Other forms of ablative energy should yield similar results. Further clinical validation of this concept is warranted.

Abstract

A method for determining the nPSA following PGA using brachytherapy was developed. The formula relies on complete ablation of the treated volume, which resulted in no PSA contribution from that component. Other forms of ablative energy should yield similar results. Further clinical validation of this concept is warranted.
