Based on these results, the
researchers established guidelines for

candidates must fulfill the following
criteria *PSA density must be less

the total weight ot the prostate gland,
as estimated bv ultrasound i
* No more than two cores of
prostate tissue removed at biopsv can
show anv ex idetice of cancer
* Lew than $0% of anv single

* Any cancer cells must be less
aggressive meaning they are more

is classified by what s called the

have a Gleaaon score of under 7
Additionally. men should lake age
