Speaking in honor of baseball great Ryne Sandberg, who recently passed away from metastatic prostate cancer, Dr. Morgan reflects on why the work to prevent overtreatment — and save lives — remains urgent. In this talk, he revisits the 2021 NCCN guidelines controversy that briefly removed “preferred” status from Active Surveillance for low-risk prostate cancer, explains how the decision was reversed, and outlines what’s next for improving patient outcomes. Highlights include: Current NCCN guidelines for low-risk prostate cancer and their real-world application Long-term data from the PASS Active Surveillance registry showing survival and metastasis rates Emerging innovations — digital pathology, AI-based risk prediction, and the move toward biparametric MRI Lifestyle insights — how exercise could play a powerful role in cancer outcomes 💙 Support ASPI’s mission: Your donation helps us provide education, advocacy, and community for men on Active Surveillance.
