3/ 🔑 issue for AS is choice of endpoint “Progression” of GG1→GG2 is not meaningful. And progression to GG3 not necessarily a failure of AS, more an indication ⏳for RP/RT AS *failure* = any of: N1, M1, GG 4-5, BCR, death from PCa

Brief 🧵 1/ How common is *failure* of modern active surveillance (AS) for #ProstateCancer (PCa)? Which patients are at higher risk? Spoiler 🚨: it’s pretty simple @EurUrolOncol @UroToday @OncoAlert @PCF_Science @gu_onc @AmerUrological @Uroweb
