Choyke, MD, of the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, gave presentations during the education session “Contemporary Active Surveillance for Prostate Cancer: Do We Need Better Imaging and Molecular Testing?”

In this peer-to-peer discussion, Dr. Loeb and Dr. Choyke discuss some of the salient points from their session, including the use of magnetic resonance imaging for patient selection and follow-up and the use of new molecular markers that could signal tumor changes in patients on surveillance.
