When Your PSA is Rising After Treatment
You’ve been through treatment for prostate cancer. Months or years later, you get the news you hoped would never come: your PSA is rising. Experts discuss PSA and recurrence from their perspectives as a urologic oncologist (Dr. Ashley Ross of Northwestern Medicine) and a radiation oncologist (Dr. Paul Nguyen of Dana Farber Cancer Institute). Learn about what the numbers mean, testing beyond PSA, and treatment options. Please note that the recordings below focus on post-surgery and post-radiation, respectively, but you may wish to watch both to get a full picture of the topics discussed.
