Pathological issues in biopsy specimens of men with prostate cancer eligible for active surveillance

Pathological issues in biopsy specimens of men with prostate cancer eligible for active surveillance

Active surveillance (AS) is an important management option for men with lowrisk, clinically localized prostate cancer.
