  • Title: Diagnostic evaluation of PSA recurrence and review of hormonal management after radical prostatectomy.
    Author: Van Poppel H, Joniau S, Van Cleynenbreugel B, Mottaghy FM, Oyen R.
    Journal: Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis; 2009; 12(2):116-23. PubMed ID: 19238169.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this review is to provide a discussion of the diagnostic evaluation of biochemical recurrence following radical prostatectomy (RP) and an overview of the postoperative hormonal treatment (HT) options. As no randomized trials in the clinical setting of postoperative prostate-specific antigen recurrence have been reported, there is no conclusive evidence that HT after RP will prolong survival or reduce morbidity. Non-traditional approaches, such as intermittent androgen deprivation, non-steroidal anti-androgens and combination of finasteride and non-steroidal anti-androgen, are investigated and may be acceptable options. Combinations of HT with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy for treatment of recurrent prostate cancer are under study.
