Management dilemmas in prostate cancer.
Large numbers of men have an undetected prostate tumor, but in only a small proportion of cases do these lesions ever become clinically significant.

Meanwhile, patients need help deciding whether to undergo screening and, if cancer is found whether to opt for aggressive treatment.
