The New England Journal of Medicine published a new study suggesting patients with localized instances of prostate cancer may be able to delay more invasive treatment. Researchers found those that opted for active surveillance had the same survival rates as those who underwent surgery or radiation after fifteen years. NBC News’ Dr. John Torres dives deep into the alternative treatment option for patients at low risk of cancer spread.

Full spectrum cannabis suppository is working
I went through active monitoring for ten years before I finally had surgery. It worked very well for me.
It's really invasive.
what camera are you using?
they still have not addressed the route calls of prostate cancer and many people don't realize that's an ingredient in milk dairy products causes prostate cancer not the mention sugar sugar is the catalyst
Is active monitoring going to be covered by medicare or medicaid?
I have another kind of cancer and have been doing active monitoring for over three years. It's crazy to be diagnosed with cancer then be told they are just going to watch it. So far I haven't progressed and my specialists think there is a good chance I may never progress.
They won't remove cancer but they'll circumcise children & somehow that's not "invasive".
