For many men with prostate cancer, the cancer is so
slow-growing that is unlikely to affect a man during his
lifetime.
In this case the best treatment may be active surveillance
-- carefully monitoring a slow-growing cancer’s course with
prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests, digital rectal exams,
and biopsies to determine whether and when treatment is
needed.
This approach enables men to avoid the potentially
debilitating effects of aggressive cancer treatment if the
cancer is unlikely to adversely affect their lives.
