Abstract
Men with delayed biochemical recurrence have favorable clinical features and improved survival. Men with undetectable prostate specific antigen 20 years after radical prostatectomy had a low rate of recurrence and no deaths from prostate cancer. This suggests that 20 years is a reasonable time to discontinue prostate specific antigen testing.
