Prostate cancer may recur after removal, but there is no fixed recurrence time.
Generally speaking, high PSA index after prostate cancer resection and the presence of lymph node or distant metastasis can be judged as high-risk level, the probability of recurrence is higher, and the time of recurrence is not fixed. If the PSA index is greater than 0.2ng/ml twice in a row after prostate cancer resection, and there is a rising trend can be defined as recurrence, and it is necessary to cooperate with the doctor as soon as possible to carry out radiotherapy to inhibit further spreading and metastasis of tumor cells.
Whether the prostate cancer recurs after resection mainly depends on the risk grade of prostate cancer, the success rate of surgical treatment, whether the prognosis is good or not, and the specific time of recurrence varies from person to person. It is recommended that patients should have a timely review after surgery and actively cooperate with professional doctors for follow-up treatment to minimize the chance of recurrence as much as possible.
