Episode 322: 321. Long-Term Outcomes in Patients with Low Risk Prostate Cancer

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2819352


Conclusions and Relevance In this study, 10 years after diagnosis, 49% of men remained free of progression or treatment, less than 2% developed metastatic disease, and less than 1% died of their disease. Later progression and treatment during surveillance were not associated with worse outcomes. These results demonstrate active surveillance as an effective management strategy for patients diagnosed with favorable-risk prostate cancer.
