Guideline for the management of clinically localized prostate cancer: 2007 update.

摘要

In December 1995, the AUA published the Report on the Management of Clinically Localized Prostate Cancer.The document was the culmination of six years of work by 17 clinicians and scientists and required the evaluation of 12,501 scientific publications with the detailed extraction of information from 165 papers that met the rigorous criteria of the panel of experts (Appendix 1 on-line). The Panel noted that a lack of evidence precluded specific recommendations for optimal treatment of an individual patient, which patients should be offered all treatment options, and that patient preferences should guide decision making.
