Recurrence following radiotherapy.
Recurrence after radiotherapy is not uncommon. Facing this situation, physicians have the choice between numerous possibilities, including simple observation, androgen ablation, salvage radical prostatectomy, cryotherapy, brachytherapy, high-intensity focused ultrasound, chemotherapy and nonconventional therapy. There is, however, no standard treatment and each case must be individually discussed.
