Abstract
The management of localized prostate cancer in the elderly is problematic. In many cases, death from other causes may occur before death from prostate cancer. Choosing the optimal therapy requires properly counseling patients about the relative risks and benefits from each treatment option, including watchful waiting. Conservative management is a reasonable alternative for managing this disease.
