My health team considers "less than 0.1" as the goal (undetectable) for my situation of where I had a prostatectomy and BCR (19.0). They said that chasing the significant digits isn't worth it, just focus on "less than 0.1".

It seems that as of now, the scientific evidence is that at PSA less than 0.1, 99% of the cancer is dead. Some suspect that the 1% is also dead but there is no scientific proof as yet. They new hypersensitive tests can go down to PSA 0.003. Those labs would call that undetectable. It seems there are some scientists ware trying to show that PSA < 0.003 provides better outcome than < 0.1. It may be intitively sound. Proving it may take some years.
Dont mind me. I am just another layman trying to make sense of the whole thing,
