*Adenocarcinoma, Clinically Localized Disease, Low Risk, Surveillance Candidate:
Notes: PSA every 3-6 months, DRE every 6-12 months and rebiopsy (12 core) every 12-24 months. May rebiopsy if indicated by new DRE finding or PSA increase.
Institute definitive therapy at disease progression.
Surveillance Notes
Post Definitive Treatment Surveillance: Q3 months x 1-2 years exam with PSA.
Then, if no PSA-recurrence*, q6 months x 5 years. Then, if no PSA-recurrence*, yearly.
No imaging required.
*PSA recurrent defined as 2 ng/mL above nadir.

*Adenocarcinoma, Clinically Localized Disease, Intermediate Risk, Radiation Candidate:
Level 1 evidence supports radiation + ADT. If a patient or physician feels ADT is not the preferred option, radiation alone with dose escalation can be considered. 
Standard overview example:
•Radiation + Neoadjuvant/Concurrent/Adjuvant LHRH Agonist Starting 2 - 4 Months Prior to Starting Radiation and Continuing for a Total of 6 Months (+/- Nonsteroidal Antiandrogen During XRT)
A cycle is every 12 weeks:
•Leuprolide acetate depot 22.5 mg - every 12 weeks - intramuscularly every 12 weeks Daily:
•Bicalutamide 50 mg - once a day - orally once a day
