    • Abstract:
      The article highlights the discovery that closely observing low-risk prostate cancers rather than subjecting them to radiation prolonged their life by two months. An "Annals of Internal Medicine"-published study added many men with low-risk prostate cancer are treated unnecessarily at substantial personal and societal cost. Dr. Charles Cutler of the American College of Physicians Board of Regents shared their side on embracing surgical and radiation treatment for patients with prostate cancer.
