I agree with the premise of the question. Those micro cells are the ones that cause the problems that cannot be picked up by imaging, which is why they either remove or they treat the entire prostate plus some.

I would like to see more studies on the microcells and biological reoccurrence so that maybe it becomes easier to make decisions related to radiation and ablation

If you are looking for guarantees, there is no saying pathology is so much better than PSMA for example. Many pathology reports are wrong, people get un-needed radiation which I can assure you does them no good, or are over treated at the get go by incorrect pathology reports. For all the alternative treatments that ablate prostate tissue, PSMA pet/ct is the determinant and replacement, plus PSMA is getting better and better.
