High-risk recurrence at PSA 0.1 rather than wait for 0.2?

Jeff Marchi summed it up pretty well; so yes, you can pursue treatment earlier than PSA 0.2.
Also, since you are at .05, a PSA test every 3 months is recommended; if you see a steady increase to 0.1 in a short time frame (less than 6 mos) it would be advised to start salvage therapy with ADT.

@heavyphil I believe velocity is the trigger. After my first year I doubled every 6 months.
