Active surveillance of patients with prostate cancer (Literature review)

Abstract

Active surveillance (AS) is an important strategy that avoids overtreatment of prostate cancer (PCa). However, the optimal criteria for the possibility of continuing the Academy of Sciences or the factors of disease progression and the need to move to the beginning of the treatment are still contradictory. We have analyzed the primary data on risk factors as predictors of progression of prostate cancer in patients group AN: the patient's age at the Academy of Sciences, race, family history. In practical application can be a combination of some data, such as multivariate clinical algorithm and prediction of long-term results of the Academy of Sciences and to further improve the implementation of these predictors of the future.
