The prognostic value of PSA levels at 7-8 month

Yüksel Ürün shared a post on X: .

“PSA level of <0.2 ng/mL at months 7-8 is prognostic.

However, it is still unclear whether we can use this to guide treatment de-escalation or escalation. We need to wait for the results of ongoing studies to determine this. ”

“I agree with this statement. A PSA level of <0.2 ng/mL at months 7-8 is indeed prognostic. However, the clinical implications of using this metric to guide treatment de-escalation or escalation are still uncertain. We need to wait for the results of ongoing studies to better understand how to use this information in clinical practice. ”
