Wad, MD [] Oct 1, 21 Choltol Diod [4], [] Volum: 4 Today, bcau of potat-pcific antign PSA cning, potat canc in mot patint i dtctd ali and at young ag than in th pat. Dpit thi aly dtction and aft dfinitiv thapy, whth by adical potatctomy RP o adiation thapy RT, a biochmical cunc will dvlop within 1 ya of tatmnt in about % of mn.1,2 With about 2, ca of potat canc diagnod ach ya in th Unitd Stat, it i timatd that a PSA-only cunc dvlop in mo than, mn p ya. Although th natual hitoy of PSA cunc can b long,4 cnt tudi hav hlpd u tatify mn fo vaying ik of clinical pogion and potat canc dath with v-incaing accuacy.4-7 In thi viw, w dicu PSA cunc aft pimay thapy. W focu on th dfinition of cunc, th natual hitoy and ik facto fo pogion, th ol of alvag thapi aimd at cu o palliation, and th timing of th thapi. W alo off advic on how to incopoat thi infomation into clinical pactic. PSA RECURRENCE DEFINED Duing RP, ntially all PSA-poducing cll hould hav bn movd. Thfo, light lvation in PSA lvl a ud to indicat canc cunc. Th xact lvl that dfin PSA cunc i dbatd, howv. In gnal, a PSA lvl high than.4 o.2 ng/ml ha bn ud in mot tudi., PSA lvl do not fall to undtctabl lvl aft RT a thy do aft RP. Rath, adiation induc a low and not alway tady dclin in PSA lvl. Th mdian tim to PSA nadi i about 1 month--and poibly long following bachythapy. In addition, light tanint upwing in PSA lvl PSA bounc a not uncommon. Thfo, dfining cunc in thi tting i mo challnging. In 17, th Amican Socity fo Thaputic Radiology and Oncology ASTRO convnd a connu panl who mmb dfind cunc aft RT a concutiv lvatd PSA valu aft aching a nadi, o a ingl lvatd valu ignificant nough to tigg th initiation of homon thapy.1 Th failu dat i backdatd to th midpoint btwn PSA nadi and th fit of th lvatd PSA valu. Thi backdating intoduc a bia that ovtimat th ucc at hot follow-up tim not nough follow-up ha occud to documnt failu. Moov, in long-tm follow-up tudi, th failu a backdatd to an ali point in tim, ulting in a lvling of th Kaplan-Mi cuv, in contat to outcom aft RP in which PSA-f uvival continu to dclin ov tim.11 Bcau of th concn mntiond abov, ASTRO cntly convnd a nw connu panl that dfind cunc: a PSA valu high than abolut nadi plu 2 ng/ml o a PSA valu high than abolut nadi plu ng/ml.12 Both dfin th failu dat a that whn cunc wa mt i, failu tim i no long backdatd. NATURAL HISTORY OF PSA RECURRENCE Pag 1 of 12

2 PSA Rcunc of Potat Canc: Publihd on Canc Ntwok Th Oncology Jounal Th natual hitoy of PSA cunc can b quit long but vai. In a claic tudy at John Hopkin Univity, Pound and aociat4 dcibd 1 mn with PSA failu following RP who did not civ homonal thapy until th tim of mtatai. Th mdian tim fom PSA cunc to mtatai wa ya, and th mdian tim fom mtatai to dath wa ya. In a cnt follow-up tudy fom John Hopkin that includd a lightly lag cohot, th mdian tim fom PSA cunc to potat canc dath wa not achd aft 1 ya of follow-up. Howv, potat canc dath w n a aly a 1 ya aft PSA cunc, although with vy a fquncy. Thu, th natual hitoy of cunt potat canc i on of a lowly poging dia, but in om mn th pogion can b quit apid. RISK FACTORS FOR CLINICAL PROGRESSION AND PROSTATE CANCER DEATH Givn thi long but vaiabl natual hitoy, many invtigato ought to idntify ik facto to pdict th liklihood of clinical pogion and potat canc dath. Th vaiabl that ha mot conitntly bn linkd with adv outcom i how fat th um PSA lvl i iing, which i mot commonly maud a PSA doubling tim PSADT. Naly 1 ya ago, Cat and collagu1 fit dmontatd that chang in PSA lvl ov tim could pdict th liklihood of potat canc.

Th i till no connu, although phap th cal a tipping towad aly homonal thapy--at lat fo om mn.
