Anyone had salvage radiation therapy post-prostatectomy?

The PCRI conference had doctors discussing what to do with reoccurrence. While salvage radiation has been the standard for quite a long time, the doctors there said that only 1/3 of the cases of reoccurrence were result of metastasis in the area where salvage radiation was done.
So they claim it totally misses the spots where the cancer normally comes back.

So if 1/3 of cases are progressing after salvage in this claim , would it not be correct in saying 2/3's are working , not 1/3 ? I dont know if I quite understand what they are trying to say .... If I do the math , I get the obvious , above .
