PSA detected after salvage radiation and prostectomy

@brianjarvis thank you for responding. We asked how they would target the radiation since not showing on scans. Told aimed at the highest zone. Was not given ADT with radiation because Decipher indicated low risk. I will look at Dr. Kwon prevention, thank you for that! And also look into and ask about the older PET scan options. He has never had a positive PSMA PET, as you mentioned was not available in 2014. Again, thank you. Knowledge is power and need to hear what others have learned from their experience.

@aprapr Decipher is a great new tool to use in predicting cancer aggressiveness (metastasis risk) for improving treatment decision.
Since it has high sensitivity (~93%) but lower specificity (~40%) for clinically significant cancer, it doesn't catch every aggressive case or eliminate false positives entirely when used as a screening tool alongside PSA/MRI.
As with every number - PSA, PIRADS, Gleason, SUVmax, etc. - I would use it cautiously.
