Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Urology

Context:

  • Prostate cancer incidence has doubled in 20 years due to PSA screening.
  • Improved understanding of prostate cancer natural history is crucial.

Purpose:

  • To review the principles, results, and future perspectives of active surveillance for prostate cancer.
  • To discuss risk stratification for predicting insignificant prostate cancer.

Summary:

  • Active surveillance is a management option for low-risk prostate cancer.
  • It aims to delay or avoid radical treatment.
  • Risk stratification is key to identifying suitable candidates.

Impact:

  • Provides an alternative to immediate radical treatment for select patients.
