New web tool aims to keep men with Low-Risk prostate cancer on track without unnecessary treatment
NCT ID NCT05764005
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tested a web-based tool called MAP (Management of Active surveillance in Prostate Cancer) in 39 men aged 55+ with low-risk prostate cancer who were already on active surveillance. The tool provides education, helps coordinate care with primary care doctors, and offers self-management tips for cancer-related anxiety. The goal was to see if the tool is feasible and acceptable to patients and providers, with results to inform a larger future study.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- web-based tool (MAP - Management of Active surveillance in Prostate Cancer)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a larger study that improves how men with low-risk prostate cancer are monitored, reducing unnecessary treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 39 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The tool is behavioral, not a treatment, so it won't cure or control the cancer directly.
