On May 5th, Dr. Samuel Washington III (UCSF Assistant Professor of Urology and Goldberg-Benioff Endowed Professorship in Cancer Biology) spoke at our Active Surveillance Virtual Support Group with a presentation titled “How Does Where You Live Impact Active Surveillance?”
He shared his research on regional variations in the use of active surveillance, showing that men with identical diagnoses get treated differently in different communities. He also answered some questions related to the safety of AS for African American men, anxiety issues in men on AS, and other topics.
We want to thank Dr. Washington for answering questions!
