Like 101-level courses in colleges, AS 101 is aimed at teaching the basics. In this case, it’s the basics of active surveillance, close monitoring of low to favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer.
AS 101 is a series of conversations between actual patients and their partners/spouses and leading experts. The goal of this series is to reach all AS candidates, including those who have not yet been diagnosed with prostate cancer but have rising PSAs (prostate-specific antigen) blood levels to provide them with an introduction to AS.
We want to help these patients formulate questions to help them make the right decisions for them.
