Description

For men with biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP), salvage radiation therapy (SRT), especially "early" SRT (PSA level ≤0.5 ng/mL), is a potentially curative option; however, its utilization is not well defined. We sought to determine factors associated with SRT utilization as well as variation in its administration.
