‘Active Monitoring’ of Prostate Cancer Does Not Increase Death Rate
A 10-year study of more than 1,500 men with prostate cancer found no difference in death rates between men who had surgery or radiation and those who monitored the disease."Researchers followed patients for 10 years and found no difference in death rates between men who were picked at random to have surgery or radiation, or to rely on “active monitoring” of the cancer, with treatment only if it progressed."
There must be at least two causal agents of prostate cancer.
The iconography of the picture is graphic.
