 E-Mail Men over 60 with low-risk prostate cancer could spend ten years with no active treatment, have a better sex life as a result, yet still be very unlikely to die from the disease, new research has found. The findings come from two new studies looking at active surveillance of prostate cancer - when the disease is closely monitored but not treated - presented at the European Association of Urology congress, EAU21, today. The first uses data from Sweden s National Prostate Cancer Register, which has information on virtually every man diagnosed with the disease in that country since 1998 - 23,649 of whom went on active surveillance.
