[QUOTE="tcmi, post: 253768, member: 31798"] Good article overall, and active surveillance can make sense in many men. But be careful about the details of their “argument,” that mortality in the “treatment group” was no better than the “surveillance,” group, while acknowledging that the cancer in the surveillance group is more likely to metastasize. Ask someone with metastatic prostate cancer about the quality of their life, and the side effects and pain they’ve experienced during a succession of treatments. Focusing the argument only on mortality misses an important point. So, yes, you can still live many years with metastatic prostate cancer due mainly to the many treatments available. But quality of life should remain an important factor. And even with all of the “over treatment” of PCA suggested by the article, we still have more than 100,000 men in the US die from metastatic prostate cancer each year. [/QUOTE]
