Managing prostate cancer.

Active Surveillance Active surveillance (also called deferred therapy) is when doctors recommend against the immediate treatment of early-stage, low-risk prostate cancer, but continue to monitor the cancerous cells. Forgoing treatment allows men to avoid the side effects and risks of treatments like radiation or surgery—which can be greater than those posed by low-risk prostate cancer—until or unless the cancer starts to grow and spread more rapidly.
