Registry for Prostate Cancer with Active Surveillance at Seoul National University
Official title: Seoul National University Prospectively Enrolled Registry for Prostate Cancer With Active Surveillance
Run by Seoul National University Hospital · NCT02971085 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to see how many men with low-risk prostate cancer in Korea experience changes in their condition while being monitored closely instead of getting immediate treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are men under 80 years old with pathologically confirmed low-risk prostate cancer.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have previously undergone therapy for prostate cancer will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to establish a prospective cohort registry for men with low-risk prostate cancer undergoing active surveillance at Seoul National University Hospital. The primary goal is to investigate the five-year rates of pathologic reclassification during active surveillance, addressing the need for well-controlled data specific to Korean patients. The study will collect and analyze clinical outcomes to provide evidence supporting active surveillance as a primary treatment strategy for low-risk prostate cancer in this population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide critical insights into the effectiveness of active surveillance for low-risk prostate cancer, potentially reducing unnecessary treatments.
How similar studies have gone: While active surveillance has been studied in Western populations, this study aims to provide novel data specific to Korean patients, making it a unique contribution to the field.
