From the Introduction
The hardest prescription in oncology is to do nothing on purpose — active surveillance asks men with low-risk prostate cancer, and patients with small thyroid and other indolent tumours, to watch instead of cut.

About this volume
Inside this volume
Fifty first-person accounts sit with monitored cancer: the biopsy rhythms and MRI calendars, the cocktail-party incomprehension ('you're not treating it?'), spouses who slept worse than patients, PSA wobbles that tested resolve, and the two honest endings — years of full life with treatment never needed, and progression caught on schedule and treated with outcomes surveillance was designed to protect. Writers include the man who chose surgery for peace of mind and doesn't regret it.
Who it's for
For anyone offered surveillance over surgery, the families living with watchful waiting, and patients renegotiating their truce at every checkup.
