@jeffmarc I will attempt to attach the link I am referring to. It is clear. Not aggressive yet, however will lead to BCR with a 98% certainty. 2% chance it will not. If you have been at <0.01 and you advance to .03 in (whatever) the period of time, that is a 300% increase in protein level. Common sense.

@tom86
If you looked at the link, I included, it said this
With biochemical recurrence diagnosed at uPSA ≥0.03, the majority (72%) of the high-risk cohort had failed by the median follow-up of 44 months.
72% does not equal 98% but it is not a good percentage to have to face.
Another factor, however, is that that these were high risk patients, Not your normal risk level patients. I wonder what your study really showed.
