Anyone do Tulsa Pro, newer laser ablation procedure?

I had a radical prostatectomy in 2016.

For four years my PSA was in the .01-.03 range. Then in 2020 it started to rise.

2/04/2020 was .06
4/28/2020 .05
10/23/2020 .07
11/30/2021 .29
2/08/2022 .43
7/29/2022 .72
10/14/2022 1.40

In February I had a PET/PSMA scan at the University of Washington. My PSA at that time was .43

No cancer was detected.

Now I'm at 1.40 and I'm probably going to go back for another PET/PSMA scan. Waiting for another consult.

So, here's the question. Would any of the Tulsa type procedures work for me now that my prostate has been completely removed?

IF the cancer is located, and IF it's still in the prostate bed, would the Tulsa type procedures be able to impact the cancer?

Thanks in advance for your time responding.

You're asking the right questions. Have you had a chance to ask these questions of your cancer team?
