Fernando López Campos et al. · Clinical & translational oncology : official publication of the Federation of Spanish Oncology Societies and of the National Cancer Institute of Mexico · 2026
Purpose

To develop expert consensus recommendations in Spain for the management of biochemical recurrence (BCR) in prostate cancer across different clinical scenarios using a modified Delphi methodology, and to provide a multidisciplinary, evidence-based framework to inform clinical decision-making regarding definition, risk stratification, imaging, and treatment after radical prostatectomy (RP), radiotherapy (RT), and RP followed by salvage RT.

Methods

A multidisciplinary scientific committee formulated 51 clinical statements based on a narrative literature review and expert experience.

n = 49 specialists
75%
Results
experts agreed on the recommendations for managing prostate cancer recurrence
n = 49 specialists
More results

Forty-two Spanish panelists completed both rounds.

The panel emphasized individualized ADT duration and risk-adapted imaging and treatment approaches.

Additional areas of ongoing debate and future research needs were identified.

“
Conclusion · 1 of 2

These expert-driven recommendations provide a structured clinical framework integrating current evidence and consensus guidance to optimize BCR management in prostate cancer.

Conclusion · 2 of 2

The findings support personalized decision-making and highlight areas requiring further prospective validation.
