Résumé

The only prognostic factor of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) bounce in prostate cancer found in several studies is young age but has never been specifically studied in this subset of patients for long-term results. Bounce characteristics, histological, clinical, and dosimetric data in young patients were analyzed, as well as their impact on toxicity and survival.
