Abstract
We looked at compliance with an active surveillance protocol for low-risk prostate cancer in a large active surveillance study. We observed reluctance to undergo yearly biopsies because of fast rising prostate-specific antigen, despite a higher risk of disease progression. Further research should aim to safely reduce the number of repeat biopsies in men on active surveillance to increase protocol adherence.
