Abstract
The Prostate Intervention Versus Observation Trial (PIVOT) showed that radical prostatectomy did not benefit men with favorable-risk prostate cancer. Following the publication of PIVOT, the selection of men with multiple medical issues for curative treatment declined, whereas treatment of men at high risk of having aggressive prostate cancer increased.
