Is there any recommendation for doing additional therapy(ies), radiation, hormone therapy and/or ADT right after surgery in order to reduce the risk of Biochemical recurrence?

Can pathological findings, below, recommend additional treatment?

stage, tumor size/diameter, multifocality, extraprostatic extension, seminal vesicle invasion, surgical margins, perineural invasion, lymph node metastasis, high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia

The mildest intervention, with zero side effects, to delay a bit BCR is Avodart.
