am now 1 year postoperative.
My pathology shows Gleason 3+4, unilateral seminal vesicle invasion (pT3b), and cribriform pattern positivity.
Over the first postoperative year, my PSA has increased from 0.02 to 0.05.
In this context, should one still wait for the classical PSA threshold of 0.2 to define biochemical recurrence and initiate salvage radiotherapy,
or in high-risk features such as pT3b disease and cribriform pattern, is earlier intervention at PSA levels like 0.1 or 0.15 recommended?

Does anyone have experience with initiating radiotherapy at these lower PSA levels in similar cases?
