Background: Several biochemical and clinical markers have been proposed for selecting patients for active surveillance (AS). However, some of these are expensive and not easily accessible. Moreover, currently about 30% of patients on AS harbor aggressive disease. Hence, there is an urgent need for other tools to accurately identify patients with low-risk prostate cancer (PCa). Patients: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 260 patients who underwent radical prostatectonny and were eligible for AS according to the following criteria: clinical stage T2a or less, prostate-specific antigen level
