Despite highly effective radical methods of treatment of prostate cancer (PC), 30% of patients will have a biochemical recurrence. The evolution in the diagnosis of recurrent prostate cancer after prostatectomy (RP) contributes to the search and development of such methods of treatment of relapses that consider not only the effectiveness, but also the quality of life of patients. This review demonstrates the actual concept of treatment of recurrent PC after RP, starting with salvage androgen-deprivation therapy with or without EBRT, and ending with minimally invasive methods such as salvage high-dose brachytherapy.
Keywords: salvage brachytherapy, salvage radiation therapy, local recurrence, prostatectomy, prostate cancer
