Dr. Shin's Video

Dr. Nihal Mohamed talks about active surveillance research and treatment in high risk prostate cancer patients

Active Surveillance

This protocol should only be undertaken under the monitoring of your doctor. There are situations, based on the individual patient, when a non-aggressive approach to treating the disease is best recommended. The most definitive clinical research has shown that men with less than a 10 year life expectancy and low-volume tumors are the best candidates for aggressive monitoring; all other patients are encouraged to seek a more curative approach. Discuss your particular disease condition with your doctor if you are contemplating this method.
