VerifiedHello there,
Please be patient, as I may be in the operating room, with a patient, or driving but will get back to you ASAP.
A total PSA of 1.26 is still high and tells me that cancer is still present. I think he will need further treatment with radiation for this to further kill the remaining cancer cells. The PSA should be less than 0.2. So, yes, he will definitely need further treatment. Hope this helps.
