Overall survival (OS) and metastasis-free survival (MFS) after PSA recurrence, stratified by PSA doubling time

Overall survival (OS)
Metastasis-free survival (MFS)
PSADT <3 months (n = 7) PSADT 3–9 months (n = 59) PSADT ≥9 months (n = 280) PSADT <3 months (n = 7) PSADT 3–9 months (n = 38) PSADT ≥9 months (n = 145)
Median OS (years) 3.4 16.1 >23.0* Median MFS (years) 1.4 4.0 >15.0*
95% CI (3.3–4.7) (11.5, >23.0) (NA, >23.0) 95% CI (0.7, 1.5) (1.7–5.9) (8.8, >15.0)
OS rate (%) at 5 years 0 82 93 MFS rate (%) at 5 years 0 31 87
95% CI (0.00–0.60) (0.67–0.90) (0.89–0.95) 95% CI (0.0–0.56) (0.12–0.52) (0.76–0.94)
OS rate (%) at 10 years NA 68 83 MFS rate (%) at 10 years NA 12 54
95% CI NA (0.51–0.80) (0.77–0.88) 95% CI NA (0.1–0.38) (0.24–0.78)
OS rate (%) at 15 years NA 46 75 MFS rate (%) at 15 years NA NA NA
95% CI NA (0.17–0.71) (0.66–0.82) 95% CI NA NA NA

In each subgroup, the median OS/MFS as well as the 5-, 10- and 15-year probability of OS/MFS from the time of PSA recurrence are shown. PSADT, prostate-specific antigen doubling time; NA, not applicable.
