Men with prostate cancer may be more likely to live beyond 15 years if they have surgery soon after diagnosis, even individuals whose PSA test results indicate that they are in a low-risk group, according to a new study from a team of Swedish researchers.
After following 695 men who had been diagnosed with prostate cancer and chose either radical prostatectomy or watchful waiting, the researchers reported in the New England Journal of Medicine that those in the surgery group had a much better survival rate.
