AB  - After a diagnosis of prostate cancer, the 15-year cancer-specific survival probability is high; in suitable patients, active surveillance lessens the side effects of curative treatment. Limited evidence is available on the continuation of active surveillance in young prostate cancer patients in Germany.Using data that were reported, as required by law, to the population-based cancer registries of the German federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Baden-Württemberg, and Rhineland- - Palatinate, we studied the course of 732 patients under 60 years of age who were under active surveillance after receiving a diagnosis of low-risk localized prostate cancer (ISUP grade 1 or 2) in the years 2016-2021.The median duration of follow-up was 28 months. 64
