How would you manage a patient who had salvage prostatectomy after cryotherapy failure and now has a rising PSA?

Would you offer external beam radiation if the prostatectomy specimen showed a high Gleason score with involved margins?

Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Academic Institution

I would approach the decision to treat this case similarly to if the patient had never had cryo, counseling the patient that the risk of toxicity may potentially be somewhat higher.
