Active Surveillance for Prostate Cancer: Wait or Treat?

If you've just been diagnosed with low-risk prostate cancer, your instinct is to treat it immediately. But for many men, active surveillance — a structured, closely monitored approach — delivers identical survival outcomes with far fewer side effects. In this video, Associate Professor Charles Chabert explains what active surveillance actually involves, who it's right for, and the exact triggers that tell you when it's time to move to treatment. What is my exact Gleason grade and Grade Group? Am I a candidate for active surveillance based on current guidelines? What does my MRI show — and does it change my risk classification? What PSA change would prompt you to recommend treatment? What is the monitoring protocol — how often, and what triggers a re-biopsy? I hope this helps and good luck with your journey!
