A 68-year-old man presents with newly diagnosed prostate cancer. Over the past 3 years,
his prostate-specific antigen level has slowly and steadily increased. His digital rectal
examination is normal, the estimated prostate volume is 48 ml, and a needle-biopsy
specimen reveals an adenocarcinoma with a Gleason score of 6 involving 10% of 1 of the
12 cores. He otherwise is well. How should his case be managed?
