[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 107880, member: 2624"] One of the topics all of us on TRT always remain wary of is prostate cancer. In a recent article, the issue of how prostate cancer is diagnosed and managed was discussed thoroughly. As noted...you may not be getting on the biopsy train if you receive a positive diagnosis. [URL="https://www.medsci.ox.ac.uk/study/graduateschool/supervisors/freddie-hamdy"]Freddie Hamdy, MBChB[/URL], a leading prostate cancer researcher and head of urology at University of Oxford, blew my mind when I spoke with him the other day. He told me we are on the cusp of a revolution in active surveillance (AS) for prostate cancer -- one that will in effect "cure" my cancer with a swipe of a pen as cancer will be redefined. A prostate cancer diagnosis with a low-risk Gleason 6 changed my life in December 2010. My first urologist offered to rush me to the OR. I declined and got a second opinion. Instead, I opted for AS and have been on it ever since. Over the past seven and a half years, I have had five biopsies. Sixty cores were removed. Only once has a biopsy showed up a tiny 1-mm shred of Gleason 6 cancer. A urologist friend told me: "When I get my prostate cancer, I want to have what you have."
