My PSA last month at Mayo was < 0.1 they have never used the ultra-sensitive test for my post RALP PSA tests. Probably to prevent anxiety and because I had negative margins and no EPE. and the fact that BCR is considered at 0.2. I was going to ask for the ultra sensitive test but my anxiety is bad enough so I going to ride with the regular PSA test

I'm having the same experience as you with Mayo Phoenix. My 3 month PSA test after bilaternal NS RALP was a standard PSA test at .04 and there was no discussion about getting an ultra-sensitive PSA test nor increasing the frequency. I don't know but I suspect you're correct that with a favorable pathology report with clean margins it just isn't indicated to ask for ultra-sensitive PSA testing unless the PSA gets up to .1
