In prostate cancer (PCa) recurring after radical prostatectomy (RP), salvage radiotherapy (SRT) is recommended to be given at PSA <0.5 ng/ml. It has been speculated, that the advantage from early SRT is mainly caused by lead-time bias: Calculating from time of SRT, earlier treatment would per-se result in longer time to event/censoring compared with later treatment, but not extend the interval from RP to post-SRT failure.
