This chapter provides a summary of the landmark PIVOT trial that randomized men with clinically localized prostate cancer from the early prostate-specific antigen (PSA) era to radical prostatectomy versus watchful waiting. Based on long-term follow-up, the study found that surgery provided only small reductions in disease-specific survival but caused substantial side effects. It suggested that many men with clinically localized prostate cancer fare well with watchful waiting.
