Abstract EN
Purpose.
Active surveillance is an emergent strategy for management of indolent prostate cancer.
Our institution’s watchful waiting protocol, Active Holistic Surveillance (AHS), implements close monitoring for disease progression along with various chemopreventive agents and attempts to reduce unnecessary biopsies.
Our objective is to report on the treatment rates of men on our AHS protocol as well as determine reasons for progression.
Materials/Methods.
Low risk and low-intermediate risk patients were enrolled in AHS at Winthrop University Hospital between February 2002 and August 2015.
Our IRB-approved study analyzed survival rate, discontinuation rates, and definitive treatments for patients in our AHS cohort.
Results.
235 patients met inclusion criteria.
Median age and follow-up for the cohort were 66 (44–88) years and 42 (3–166) months, respectively.
The overall survival for the cohort was 99.6% and the disease specific survival was 100%.
A total of 27 (11.5%) patients discontinued AHS.
Conclusion.
The incorporation of chemopreventive agents in our AHS protocol has allowed patients to prolong definitive treatment for many years.
Longer follow-up and additional studies are necessary to further validate the effectiveness of AHS.
