Purpose: We examined natural history, predictors of biochemical recurrence and all cause mortality in patients with persistently elevated prostate specific antigen after radical prostatectomy in the Shared Equal Access Regional Cancer Hospital cohort.Materials and Methods: We reviewed data on 1,156 men treated with radical prostatectomy after 1997. Prostate specific antigen persistence was defined as failure to achieve prostate specific antigen less than 0.03 ng/ml within 6 months postoperatively. Disease-free and overall survival was compared between men with and without persistence using the log rank test. Predictors of biochemical recurrence and all cause death were analyzed using the Cox model.Results: A total of 291 men (25%) had persistence, which was associated with increased biochemical recurrence and all cause death (p
