Excerpt

A 69-year-old man was referred to the Department of Radiotherapy for treatment with prostate bed radiotherapy for biochemical relapse after radical prostatectomy with no lymph node dissection performed 6 years previously. The pathological examination showed Gleason score 7 (3 + 4) adenocarcinoma with negative margins and no involvement of the seminal vesicles (stage pT2b pNX M0). He developed rapid elevation of prostate-specific antigen from 0.039 ng/mL during June 2015 to 2.6 ng/mL during July 2016. On physical examination, the left testicle showed a hard consistency and smooth surface, there were no inflammatory signs, and no abnormalities were detected on digital rectal examination. …
