This statement is false. Active surveillance is NOT appropriate for all men with prostate cancer. It is a management strategy specifically reserved for men with very low-risk or low-risk prostate cancer (e.g., low PSA, low Gleason score 3+3=6, small tumor volume) and a life expectancy of more than 10 years. The goal is to avoid or delay the side effects of treatment (like incontinence and erectile dysfunction) for cancers that are unlikely to cause harm during the patient's lifetime. Men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer require definitive treatment (surgery or radiation) because their cancer has a higher likelihood of progressing and causing morbidity or mortality. Therefore, patient selection for active surveillance is critical.
