Prostate Cancer
Frequently Asked Questions
17. What is "watchful waiting" and why
would I choose it as a treatment?

treatment does not begin until symptoms appear or change. The
doctor may suggest watchful waiting for some men who have prostate
cancer that is found at an early stage and appears to be growing
slowly. (Answer continues on next page.)
