In this video, CancerBro will explain prostate cancer observation vs active surveillance surgery. <br /><br />Video Transcript:<br /><br />First we will discuss what is the difference between observation and active surveillance. Observation is preferred when the life expectancy of the patient is less than 10 years.<br /><br />PSA is done every 6 to 12 months for initial 5 years, and then annually.<br /><br />Active surveillance is done when the life expectancy of the patient is more than 10 years. In this, PSA is done every 6 months and DRE, prostate biopsy and MRI pelvis is done annually.<br /><br />Surgery for prostate cancer is called as radical prostatectomy, in which prostate is removed along with surrounding structures.<br /><br />The next treatment option is radiotherapy, which can be given as EBRT, IMRT, and brachytherapy. The decision regarding this is taken by the radiation oncologist.<br /><br />CancerBro is also active on most social media channels.
