Background:We report here the long-term outcomes of patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer(PCa)treated with active surveillance(AS)in a daily routine setting.Material andmethods:HAROW(2008–2013)was a noninterventional,health service research study investigating themanagement of localized PCa in a community setting.A substantial proportion of the study centers were office-based urologists.A follow-up examination of all intermediate-risk patients with AS was conducted.Overall,cancer-specific,metastasis-free,and treatment-free survival rates,as well as reasons for discontinuation,were determined and discussed.Results:Of the 2957 patients enrolled,52 with intermediate-risk PCa were managed with AS and were available for evaluation.The median follow-up was 6.8 years(interquartile range,3.4–8.6 years).Seven patients(13.5%)died of causes unrelated to PCa,of whom 4 were under AS or under watchful waiting.Two patients(3.8%)developed metastasis.The estimated 8-year overall,cancer-specific,metastasis-free,and treatment-free survival rates were 85%(95%confidence interval[CI],72%–96%),100%,93%(95%CI,82%–100%),and 31%(95%CI,17%–45%),respectively.Onmultivariable analysis,prostate-specific antigen density of≥0.2 ng/mL2 was significantly predictive of receiving invasive treatment(hazard ratio,3.29;p=0.006).Reasons for discontinuation were more often due to patient's or physician's concerns(36%)than due to observed clinical progression.Conclusions:Although survival outcome data for intermediate-risk patients managed with AS in real-life health care conditions were promising,rates of discontinuation were high,and discontinuation was often a patient's decision,even when the signs of disease progression were absent.This might be an indication of higher levels of mental burden and anxiety in this specific subgroup of patients,which should be considered when making treatment decisions.From a psychological perspective,not all intermediate-risk patients are optimal candidates for AS. 展开更多
