Out of 1,610 study participants who were followed up on years later, 45 had died from prostate cancer regardless of treatment approach.
Men diagnosed with localized prostate cancer who want to avoid immediate surgery or radiation can safely choose to actively monitor the disease as a treatment method, according to a study released Saturday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Of those men, 1,643 were enrolled in a trial studying three different treatment methods – surgery to remove tumors , radiation , and active monitoring . Death not attributed to prostate cancer occurred in 356 men with similar numbers in all three treatment groups.
