A Randomised Clinical Trial Comparing Two Biopsy Templates and Follow-up Schedules for Men on Active Surveillance for Low-risk Prostate Cancer: SAMS
For men with low-risk prostate cancer, use of a more extensive initial biopsy followed by less intensive monitoring resulted in similar 5-year treatment rates as for standard monitoring. This suggests that follow-up with fewer scheduled biopsies can be considered without affecting the overall quality of surveillance when MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is not available.
