Peter Yu, MD, director, Palo Alto Medical Foundation, president-elect, ASCO, discusses results of a review that examined men’s treatment decisions after seeing a rise in their PSA levels.

- One of the studies presented at the 2014 ASCO Annual Meeting reviewed data of men who decided to wait or pursue treatment.
