What is the normal PSA value after prostate cancer eradication

If castration therapy is done at the same time after radical prostatectomy, the serum PSA value should be less than 0.2 ng/mL. After radical prostatectomy, it takes a period of time for PSA remaining in the blood to be completely metabolized from the body, and this value is not immediately detected after surgery.

If the PSA value is found to be relatively high during the examination, it means that there is residual PSA tissue in the body, and it is likely that there is some residual prostate cancer lesion, and further examination is required.

If the value is lower than 0.2 ng/mL after endocrine therapy and surgery, it means that the control is relatively good. If the PSA value is between 0.2 and 0.4 ng/mL, it should be reviewed dynamically. If you keep between these values without further increases, you can also observe them regularly. If it continues to rise, it may be that there is a recurrence of prostate cancer, or there may be distant metastases, and further investigation and treatment should be done.
