  • PSA of ≥1 ng/ml after radical prostatectomy or ≥2 ng/ml above the nadir (with recovered testosterone) after primary radiotherapy; confirmation of rising PSA in at least a second measurement at least 2 weeks apart
  • Patient declining start of ADT and /or an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) and/or judged as not in need of immediate ADT/ARPI start by treating physician
