While there is sort of a standard set that you wait two points after the low point of radiation, Not all doctors believe in that. The problem is they can’t do salvage radiation if you started off with radiation so what they can do is, when the PSA rises do a PSMA pet test to see if there is any metastasis they can zap.
I have heard in some cases they can do brachytherapy, Something that is not uncommon to do after IMRT/EBRT radiation. Never heard of it being done after SBRT, but maybe I just haven’t heard about it.
Those are a couple of options. Maybe an AI search can show even more.
