Considering active surveillance for prostate cancer? In this episode of PROSTATE CANCER: REAL TALK, El and Shay are joined by Dr. Adam Murphy, Associate Professor of Urology and Preventive Medicine at Northwestern Medicine, to discuss how active surveillance works and which patients may be good candidates for this approach.
Dr. Murphy explains how doctors monitor prostate cancer over time using tools such as PSA testing, imaging, biomarkers, and biopsies. He also discusses the importance of balancing treatment decisions with quality of life and why some men may safely delay treatment while remaining under close observation.
With expertise in prostate cancer biomarkers, imaging tools, and men’s health, Dr. Murphy provides valuable insight into the decision-making process surrounding active surveillance. This episode helps patients and families better understand their options and feel more informed when discussing next steps with their medical team.
