Agreed. As with others above, triplet works. By that is meant PSA goes down to 0.1 or < 0.1 even.

The WHO-standard for an "ultra-sensitive" PSA test (often used for high-risk patients, like those of us with stage 4 PC) is 10× as sensitive, going all the way down to 0.01 ng/mL. When your result is still "undetectable" using that test, you're in pretty good shape. I'm grateful that Firmagon (Degarelix) + Erleada (Apalutamide) have been keeping me there since 2021.
