Active surveillance is an increasingly recognized treatment option for men with low-risk prostate cancer. Despite encouraging evidence for oncologic efficacy and reduction in morbidity, several barriers contribute to the underuse of this management strategy. Consistent selection criteria as well as identification and validation of triggers for subsequent intervention are essential. Incorporation of novel biomarkers as well as advanced imaging techniques may improve surveillance strategies by better defining eligibility as well as improving prompt detection of disease progression.
主动监测是一种越来越被认可的针对低风险前列腺癌男性的治疗选择。尽管有令人鼓舞的肿瘤学疗效证据以及发病率降低的证据,但仍有几个障碍导致这种管理策略未得到充分应用。一致的选择标准以及后续干预触发因素的识别和验证至关重要。纳入新型生物标志物以及先进的成像技术可能会通过更好地确定入选标准以及改善疾病进展的及时检测来改进监测策略。
