My research indicates recurrence rates for RP at 5 yrs 10-25%, double that for 4-3 Gleason vs 3-4, 10-20% for radiation but half that with ADT hormone therapy added, Focal therapies are 20-30%. All of these have similar outcomes at 10 years add 10%-15% to the 5 year risk rates, but some focal therapies don't have 10 year results yet (Tulsa). My call with Mayo nurse is tomorrow. Meeting doctors 26th.

Good luck

According to Zero and NIH

Overall, studies show that about 20–40% of men will have a recurrence at some point after surgery. For example, one large study found that 27% developed biochemical recurrence (a rise in PSA) after prostatectomy, with 5- and 10-year recurrence rates of 21% and 29%, respectively. Long-term, the risk of recurrence can reach up to 32–40% over 15–20 years
