Active surveillance for prostate cancer

Colin describes his diagnosis with prostate cancer and being monitored with active surveillance.

A sharp increase in prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels following four years of regular PSA monitoring saw Colin being diagnosed with a mild form of prostate cancer at 60 years. Colin describes his experience on active surveillance, and how he is monitored with regular reviews and a range of tests.

"If you have any doubts, seek medical advice straight away…early intervention seems to be the key."
