Active surveillance of thyroid microcarcinomas [PDF]

Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2019
There is a recent trend in the thyroid cancer literature towards a more conservative approach to papillary microcarcinomas of the thyroid gland. The widespread acceptance of lobectomy as adequate treatment for most patients is part of this tendency. Undoubtedly, the most conservative attitude concerning these indolent cancers is the active surveillance,

Assessment of Patient Experience During Active Surveillance for Prostate Cancer [PDF]

Journal of Patient Experience
Active surveillance is a preferred strategy for patients with low-risk prostate cancer to delay and/or avoid side effects of treatment. While its impact on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) has been studied, factors influencing follow-up adherence ...

Ultrasound in active surveillance for low-risk papillary thyroid cancer: imaging considerations in case selection and disease surveillance

Insights into Imaging, 2021
Active surveillance (AS) of small, low-risk papillary thyroid cancers (PTCs) is increasingly studied in prospective observational studies. Ultrasound is the primary imaging modality for case selection.

Biomarkers in active surveillance [PDF]

Translational Andrology and Urology, 2018
The use of active surveillance (AS) is increasing for favorable-risk prostate cancer. However, there remain challenges in patient selection for AS, due to the limitations of current clinical staging. In addition, monitoring protocols relying on serial biopsies is invasive and presents risks such as infection.

Active surveillance for prostate cancer [PDF]

Translational Andrology and Urology, 2021
Many men diagnosed with localized prostate cancer can postpone definitive treatment without raising their risk of metastasis or death from disease. Active surveillance (AS) is a method of monitoring select men, with the option of switching to active treatment upon signs of progression, thereby avoiding the well-known side-effects of surgery and ...
