Hi! My dad had a prostate surgery a year ago. After surgery everything was ok and he felt really good. But now his PSA is rising again. What does it mean? Can cancer return so soon? I’m really worried. Please, somebody with experience tell me what does that mean when PSA still rising after a prostate surgery?

As you know, if prostate cancer has been eliminated, prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels should drop to 0.5ng/mL or less after treatment. More men who had prostate surgery show a rise in their PSA levels in the next few years after surgery. That’s usually the sign that cancer may be returning.
