PSA test after prostate surgery

2026-07-06 05:08:38
Hi,My father underwent prostate removal surgery (RARP) for prostate cancer on 18 May 2026. After the surgery, we did a PSA test on 5th July 2026, and the result came back as 0.55 ng/mL. Does this mean that the prostate cancer has returned? What should be the next steps? I am very worried. Attached the report for your reference.
