The time to achieve this goal after irradiation was determined in this study. Materials and Methods: From August 1992 to December 1996, 539 consecutive men with clinical stage T1T2NX prostate cancer who had a minimum 5-year PSA followup and achieved a PSA nadir of 0.2 ng./ml. without hormones were evaluated. All patients were treated with simultaneous irradiation with a transperineal prostate 125iodine implant, followed by external beam irradiation. Time to achieve a PSA of 0.2 ng./ml. was retrospectively calculated from the date of implantation in all men and according to various factors. Recurrence was defined as a subsequent increase above a PSA of 0.2 ng./ml. Minimum followup was 5 years (median 6.5, range 5 to 9). Results: In all 539 men the median time to a PSA nadir of 0.2 ng./ml. was 27 months, while 534 (99%) achieved this level by 60 months of followup. Median time to achieve this PSA goal was 20 and 39 months in patients without and with a PSA bounce, respectively. Pretreatment PSA, disease status and ultimately PSA bounce, Gleason score and stage had little or no effect on time to a PSA of 0.2 ng./ml. Conclusions: With rare exceptions to be potentially cured of prostate cancer by simultaneous irradiation men must achieve a PSA nadir of 0.2 ng./ml. within 5 years of implantation. Failure to reach this goal by 60 months of followup almost always indicates persistent disease.
