Hi all:
Interesting article concerning active surveillance, based on US data.
Click on the link.
Bear in mind, the US healthcare system is profit driven and litigious. 
Take care,
Glen

"Rather, urologists are more likely to recommend surgery and radiation oncologists are more likely to recommend radiation therapy -- the treatments provided by their own specialties."

This implies that most urologists are surgeons.  Is that true?  (My urologist isn't.)
