Watching and waiting: new study tracks prostate cancer without immediate treatment
NCT ID NCT00949819
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows men with low-risk prostate cancer who have chosen active surveillance—monitoring the cancer over time rather than treating it right away. Researchers will collect data for years to learn which signs predict that the cancer may become aggressive. The goal is to help doctors and patients make better decisions about when to start treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help doctors better identify which low-risk prostate cancers are likely to become aggressive, improving decisions about when to treat.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly test a new therapy, and results may take many years to emerge.
