Understanding Active Surveillance as a Prostate Cancer Treatment Path. You may consider active surveillance if you are diagnosed with early-stage, low-risk prostate cancer that grows slowly and is unlikely to spread. Half of men diagnosed with prostate cancer are low risk, meaning their cancer is unlikely to become life threatening. Active surveillance is a treatment plan that closely and carefully monitors your health and the status of your prostate cancer.
To help detect prostate cancer in its early stages, the American Cancer Society recommends that men talk to their doctors about the benefits, risks, and limitations of prostate cancer screening before deciding whether to be tested.
