In regard to the one study that reported on anxiety being a determinant for leaving AS at 9%, I would suggest that progression and rising PSA cause anxiety and can lead to a rushed decision to leave AS.

As long as I can recall, Peter Carroll has always maintained that his UCSF cohort shows APPROXIMATELY 1/3 of men remain on AS, 1/3 of men progress, and 1/3 of men opt for treatment.

Frankly that is hardly differnt to what you report here - so Imaybe there is no radical change - 64% to 66%??

The 50% JH number does need some explanation since it shows a lower number opting for treatment - or cnversely a higher number remaining on AS. Does this report those who fell out the study for any reason?
