I have been through this study and the supplements carefully. The major problem is that they mixed patients with low risk (Gleason score of 6) and those with moderate risk (Gleason 7) and even some with high risk (8+). When you look at the supplement the death rate for the Gleason 7's on active surveillance was 10X higher than for Gleason 6. Why on earth they combined the 7s and 6s together in the statistics would be a complete mystery to me if I had not been reading medical papers for 40 years and come to expect this sort of statistical idiocy as par for the course. http://slatestarcodex.com/2013/12/17/statistical-literacy-among-doctors-now-lower-than-chance/ http://slatestarcodex.com/2013/12/17/statistical-literacy-am...
