[Active surveillance for localized prostate cancer]

[Article in French]
F Staerman et al. Prog Urol. 2011 Jul.

Abstract

Active surveillance as an alternative approach to immediate curative treatment is demonstrated for an increasing number of patients with low risk prostate cancer. Optimization of selection and surveillance criteria to guarantee a low risk issue to patients are discussed in this review. They lead to consider active surveillance as an option rather than a standard of care for patients ideally included in clinical research protocols.
