title: Serum prostate-specific antigen elevation in the post-radical prostatectomy patient.
abstract: The management of postprostatectomy serum prostate-specific antigen elevation is hampered by the inability to determine the location of the recurrence accurately and the lack of data demonstrating a survival advantage from any of the available therapies. Treatment must be individualized for each patient.
