Being told you have prostate cancer is a life-changing moment, but is doing nothing really the best option?

In this episode, Dr. Stephen Petteruti questions the value of "watchful waiting" and "active surveillance," urging men to consider smarter, more proactive alternatives.

Dr. Stephen explains why relying on repeated biopsies is not only risky but often unnecessary. He introduces non-biopsy monitoring—using MRIs, consistent biomarkers, and targeted lifestyle shifts like boosting vitamin D and lowering body fat—to track and influence health outcomes with less harm.

If you want real options and honest insight, tune into the episode: Rethinking Prostate Cancer Care: Is Active Surveillance Enough?
