Patient Selection for Ultra-Low PSA Monitoring
Key Themes:
- Identification of patient profiles most likely to benefit from ultra-low PSA monitoring
- Relevance for specific risk categories
- Potential applications in high-volume disease or triplet therapy
Expert Insights:
- Dr Shore identified specific patient profiles or risk categories where the ultra-low PSA threshold might be particularly valuable.
He discussed its potential relevance for patients with high-volume disease, those receiving triplet therapy, or patients demonstrating rapid initial PSA declines.
