PSA kinetics after curative radiotherapy for prostate cancer is an important part of the posttreatment evaluation. We analysed PSA bounce occurrence after combined high dose rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) and external radiotherapy (ERT).

Our previous work on early PSA kinetics following prostate stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) demonstrated that an initial rapid and then slow PSA decline may result in very low PSA nadirs. This retrospective study sought to evaluate the PSA nadir 5 years following SBRT for low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer (PCa).

Prostate cancer incidence in the African-Caribbean population ranks among the highest worldwide. We aim to evaluate the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics after brachytherapy, which so far remains unknown in this population.
