Purpose: To evaluate outcomes for men with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer who were selected for transponder-guided salvage radiotherapy (SRT) to the prostate bed alone by Ga-labelled prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (Ga-PSMA-PET).
Methods: This is a single-arm, prospective study of men with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level rising to 0.1-2.
