Over the last 5 years there has been increasing acceptance of Active Surveillance for prostate cancer as alternative to invasive treatment for men with low risk prostate cancer. Unless the overdiagnosis of indolent disease is reduced by alternative diagnostic strategies for early prostate cancer, active surveillance will continue to play an important role. In selecting men for active surveillance programs, a balance is sought between minimizing the risk of tumor progression and maximizing the number of men that will remain asymptomatic and untreated for the rest of their lives. The challenge is to determine how new imaging methods, and biomarkers, can improve patient selection, and how drug intervention may improve outcome. Programme and Registration form here.
