| Abstract | INTRODUCTION Active surveillance (AS) is a commonly accepted treatment approach for men with low-risk prostate cancer (PC). As lifeexpectancy shortens, men on AS protocols are slowly transitioned to watchful waiting (WW) protocols. Due to the diversity on AS protocols and their strict definitions, little is known about the percent of patients switching to WW and their predictors of change. Objective: To report on percent of change from AS to WW protocols and to identify predictors of transition at AS initiation. |
