In this episode of PROSTATE CANCER: REAL TALK, Dr. Adam B. Murphy returns to explain the concept of Active Surveillance—a prostate cancer management option focused on close monitoring instead of immediate treatment. It’s a path chosen by many men with low-risk prostate cancer, offering a way to avoid unnecessary procedures while staying safe and informed.
Dr. Murphy is an Associate Professor of Urology and Preventive Medicine at Northwestern Medicine and also serves at Northwestern University and the Jesse Brown VA Hospital. His research focuses on health disparities in prostate cancer, examining the roles of vitamin D deficiency, genetics, and biomarkers, particularly among African American, Hispanic, and HIV-positive men.
Join us as we explore who active surveillance is best suited for, how it’s monitored, and what men need to know when deciding whether it’s the right approach for them. This episode helps bring clarity to a complex option in the fight against prostate cancer.
