Abstract
Background: Active surveillance (AS) protocols for low-risk prostate cancer (PCa) generally include repeat prostate biopsies at predefined follow-up intervals. Objective: To study the outcome of routinely obtained 1-yr repeat biopsies and factors predicting reclassification to higher risk, to contribute to risk stratification for men on AS. Design, setting, and participants: We analysed men with low-risk PCa (clinical stage ≤T2, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ≤10 ng/ml, PSA density
