Abstract
National and international guidelines endorse AS as the preferred method of managing men with low-risk disease and as an option for selected men with intermediate-risk features (1). For this latter group there remains understandable anxiety on the part of many clinicians in pursuing a non-interventional approach. This is both a limitation and also a potential opportunity for AS practice to evolve, particularly in the light of modern monitoring tools and a better understanding of prognosis (2).
