PCa Commentary #147 Olaparib and Rucaparib (PARP inhibitors)

Remission versus Recurrence?
Even with a high survival rate, relapse or recurrence of prostate cancer is way more common than you might think. Will your prostate cancer return after treatment? Will your prostate cancer treatment plan keep your cancer from coming back? Will you remain in remission, and if so, for how long? Recurrence is determined by monitoring or testing PSA Levels in the blood. If you remain in remission for 10-15 years after prostate cancer treatment, it is very unlikely that the cancer will ever return. Complete remission. No more treatment.
Prostate Cancer Free Study, studies treatment outcomes for 10-15 years to show which men remained in remission.
