Some recent discoveries in salvage radiation
Early salvage RT after prostatectomy improves outcomes: https://www.cancertherapyadvisor.com/home/news/conference-coverage/american-society-of-clinical-oncology-genitourinary-asco-gu/asco-gu-2022/early-salvage-radiation-after-surgery-improves-mfs-in-recurrent-prostate-cancer/ (Research continues to confirm that earlier is better if you need SRT.)
When to Add ADT to Early or Late Salvage Radiation: https://www.urotoday.com/video-lectures/prostate-cancer-genomic-classifier/video/2269-when-to-add-adt-to-early-or-late-salvage-radiation-dan-spratt.html (I didn't have ADT, otherwise known as hormone therapy, but in higher-risk cases it makes sense)
Salvage Radiotherapy versus Observation for Biochemical Recurrence: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35159007/. (Salvage radiation was associated with better long-term survival, both in terms of being free of metastatic disease and overall survival.)
