Is Radiation Therapy For Prostate Bed Advisable For Person With Normal PSA Range?
Hi, My question is prostate related. Specifically, radiation therapy post prostatectomy 8 years ago. My husband has a recent PSA reading of 0.22 and it has been recommended that he undergo radiation to the prostate bed. PET scan is negative for any bone involvement. Are there any clinical findings that indicate this is the way to go at this time.? Thanks, Fran
