Yes, of course it does. For example, using the kind of radiation you had, HDR brachy monotherapy, reduced PSA and it didn't go up in the entire ten years of follow-up in this study:

Thanks for the link.

Sorry, If I wasn't clear. I was asking if Radiation hinders PSA test results in a negative way, the way some supplements like Biotin will.

Radiation to the prostate doesn't mask PSA results, if that is what you're asking.
