The therapy of localized prostate cancer consists of several modalities. Besides radical prostatectomy and radiotherapy, active surveillance (AS) of strictly selected patiens with low-risk disease is discussed. Candidates for AS are patiens with stable PSA level below 10 ng/mL, with GS not more than 6 and low volume carcinoma of clinical stage T1 to T2a. In these patiens, where no or very slow progression is assumed, AS is a good alternative to primary radical treatment. On the other hand there is a risk of prostate biopsy undergrading, which could result in disease progression. In this review, we summarize current possibilities of this modality...
