Isn’t BCR defined as >.20? So he’s not there yet?
Median time to BCR ranges from 20 to 38 months (15, 19). Although BCR occurs more often in first 3 years from RP, longer follow-ups are required whereas a considerable number of patients may recur even after 15 years (20, 21).

BCR is defined as PSA >.2 on two or more tests, typically three months apart.

That is with a standard PSA test, it appears his educates us using an ultra sensitive test, there are divergent opinions about BCR for USPSA test results
