Small increase in PSA

July 2019 in Prostate Cancer #1

I had a radical prostectomy on May 19, 2017. My PSA scores since then have consisently been 0.01 (up through Dec. 2018) but my latest PSA from 7/9 was 0.04. How concerned should I be with that increase?

  Trend?

  Hi,

  I would wait for a couple more readings to see if they are trending up or just bouncing around the .01 level.   Mathematics says you need three points to make a trend line.

  Hard to say

  Hi there,
  
  It looks like recurrence, no prostate no psa, but I think you will have to wait and see what the the trend is.
