Abstract
A follow-up policy limited to the first two years will result in an unacceptable high percentage of death from disease (6.83%). The relatively small benefit of an intensive follow-up protocol as proposed by the NCI/AvL, compared to that of the EAU, must be weighed against its economic and psychological costs. Our model suggests that CT-scanning is essential for a low DSM, whereas the large number of X-rays seem to have little additional effect.
