Low testosterone levels may be associated with increased risk of prostate cancer progression during surveillance

The findings, published in the Journal of Urology, suggest that baseline testosterone may serve as a useful clinical marker to better stratify risk and tailor monitoring strategies for patients choosing active surveillance.
