It is challenging to decide in which way we should care for localized prostate cancer. The current guideline can be accepted as an appropriate foundation. However, there are doubts if guideline recommendations are implemented.
The presented opinion survey of prostate cancer support groups shows that we have too many prostatectomies in senior patients. It reveals deficiencies in the guidance of the patients. They are not sufficiently embedded in the process of decision-making. More attention should be paid to initiatives of patient support groups.
决定以何种方式治疗局限性前列腺癌具有挑战性。当前的指南可被视为一个合适的基础。然而，对于指南建议是否得到实施存在疑问。
所呈现的前列腺癌支持小组的意见调查表明，我们在老年患者中进行了过多的前列腺切除术。这揭示了患者指导方面的不足。他们在决策过程中的参与度不够。应更多关注患者支持小组的倡议。
