Several advocacy groups for active surveillance of prostate cancer in low risk and favorable intermediate risk men have designed and published a poll to gather the opinions of men currently or previously following an AS protocol. Here is their announcement:
Are you on Active Surveillance for low-risk Gleason 6 prostate cancer to favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer? Or have you moved on from AS?
We need your help with a survey designed to determine patient views on AS. Data will be used to inform policymakers, guideline writers, and clinicians about
where we stand on key issues.
For example: Will renaming Gleason 6 lesions as noncancerous reduce mental distress and financial toxicity in patients on AS? Should U.S. guideline writers, as their European counterparts did last year? favor safer transperineal biopsies vs. transrectal biopsies that can cause sepsis and other infections?
AnCan Virtual Support Group for Active Surveillance, Active Surveillance Patients International, Prostate Cancer Support Canada, and The Active Surveillor newsletter are asking for you to participate.
