Provider Tip: Scanxiety is common during cancer surveillance. Acknowledge it, normalize it, and offer simple coping tools: breathing exercises, distraction, and planning ahead for results.
Small conversations can greatly ease patient stress.

Pathological Outcomes Following Radical Prostatectomy for Low-Risk Prostate Cancer Introduction There is an increasing view that the standard of care for men diagnosed with low-risk prostate cancer (LRPC) should be conservative, whether it be with active surveillance (AS) or watchf...

It is a real joy to see the excitement of our WSU medical student having a first ever publication.

Biden's last PSA test was 2014 If you’re a man over 50 or have a family history of #ProstateCancer —please, talk to your doctor about getting screened It could change your life. I have been on #ActiveSurveillance since diagnosis of low-volume low-grade non-aggressive Gleason 6 PcA at 59yrs in Nov06

Not every case of #ProstateCancer requires aggressive "treatment"! Oftentimes it could be low-volume low-grade non-aggressive PcA which requires only #ActiveSurveillance

It would be helpful if there were more details on the severity of @barnabyjoycemp.bsky.social #ProstateCancer! I have been on #ActiveSurveillance for #Gleason6 (3+3) PcA since Nov06

Benefits of Omega-3 for Prostate Cancer Patients The Impact of a Low Omega-6, High Omega-3 Diet on Prostate Cancer Progression Recent research from the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has unveiled compelling data on how dietary modifications may significantly influence the course of prostate cancer in patients opting for active surveillance. Active surveillance refers to a strategy where patients with early-stage prostate cancer are closely monitored rather than immediately treated, allowing them to avoid the side effects of aggressive therapies until absolutely necessary.

I was diagnosed with low-volume low-grade non-aggressive Gleason 6 Prostate Cancer (PcA) Nov06. More info on John Giannone's PcA would be helpful - An #ActiveSurveillance Pioneer for 17 years! #HockeyFightsCancer should lead to men being tested by age 50 What's your PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen)

Food for thought:
If man gets work-up w/o MRI, has cT1c LR PC in initial bx and subsequently MRI is done and is neg, is deferring confirmatory bx indefinitely (eg, until greater ⬆️PSA) an option?
I vote yes. #pcsm #activesurveillance #UroSome

Prostate Cancer Risk Stratification
A 20-year study shows EAU classification predicts PCSM accurately.
Adjusting for AS criteria identifies more low-risk patients (+45-83%) without higher PCSM risk.

This continues to be the biggest barrier to equitable #populationscreening for #earlydetection.

We must stop doing it.

Active surveillance for intermediate-risk prostate cancer rose from 5% in 2010 to 12.3% in 2020. Most common in GG1 cases (53.8% by 2020). PSA and GG remain key factors.

I just read a psychiatry textbook. There was nothing in there about removing the prostate as a treatment for anxiety. #ActiveSurveillance @uroegg @dr_coops
