Prostate Cancer Mortality following Active Surveillance versus Immediate Radical Prostatectomy

Propose: Active surveillance has been endorsed for low-risk prostate cancer, but information about long-term outcomes and comparative effectiveness of active surveillance is lacking. The purpose of this study is to project prostate cancer mortality under active surveillance followed by radical prostatectomy versus under immediate radical prostatectomy. Experimental design: A simulation model was developed to combine information on time from...
