Read More »While most men undergo some form of treatment for their prostate cancer, some men today choose to not be treated for their prostate cancer. Instead, they may choose to have their healthcare providers monitor their cancer. Known as active surveillance, it is common when the cancer is expected to grow slowly based on biopsy results, confined to the prostate, not causing any symptoms, and/or small. In active surveillance, healthcare providers will initiate cancer treatment only if cancer starts growing. Others men may choose to not undergo cancer treatment because of a short life expectancy or other serious medical problems. They may feel that the risks or side effects of cancer treatment (like surgery and radiation) outweigh their potential benefits. This option is certainly OK and reasonable in the right circumstances—requiring a careful and thoughtful discussion with your healthcare provider and family.

The etiology of CNP/CPPS is not understood. It is likely that multiple disorders are being lumped together in this diagnosis. At least some cases represent chronic bacterial prostatitis not diagnosed as such because of limited sampling techniques. In a study18 using transperineal needle biopsy for culture of prostate tissue, it was found that there is frequently an occult bacterial prostatitis, especially in men with leukocytes in prostatic secretions (52 percent had positive culture of organisms). A variety of other possible etiologies have been proposed in the medical literature. Some authors have noted increased uric acid levels in prostate secretions in men with chronic nonbacterial prostatitis. It has also been proposed that men with CNP/CPPS may have an extra-prostatic cause, such as bladder outflow or pelvic floor muscle disorder. Others have pointed out the similarity between CNP/CPPS and interstitial cystitis or even fibromyalgia. There may well be an overlap of symptoms and etiologies between CNP/CPPS and benign prostatic hypertrophy.4 Most of these hypotheses have not been validated and, in general, have not resulted in clinically useful therapies.
