Biochemical recurrence (BCR)

PSA rising again after surgery or radiation, usually years before anything shows on a scan.

PSA ≥0.2 ng/mL after prostatectomy or nadir +2 after radiation. PSMA PET detects disease at PSA <0.5 in most men, enabling salvage radiation or metastasis-directed therapy. EMBARK (2023) showed enzalutamide ± ADT delays metastasis in high-risk BCR (PSA doubling time ≤9 months).
