This statement is false. Active surveillance is a well-established and appropriate management strategy for selected men with very low-risk or low-risk prostate cancer. This approach involves closely monitoring the cancer with regular PSA tests, digital rectal exams, and repeat prostate biopsies at scheduled intervals, while deferring immediate treatment (like surgery or radiation). The rationale is that many prostate cancers, especially in older men, are slow-growing (indolent) and may never cause symptoms or threaten the patient's life. Immediate treatment with surgery or radiation carries risks of side effects like urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. Active surveillance allows men to avoid or delay these side effects unless there is evidence that the cancer is becoming more aggressive. It is a crucial strategy to reduce overtreatment of insignificant cancers.
