Low grade prostate cancer with low serum PSA levels can be observed.
You need to have regular serum PSA levels and digital rectal examinations for assessment of prostate. If PSA levels rise or findings of prostate change on examination,a re-biopsy will be required to see if tumor has progressed in grade. Till then close surveillance is an option.
