Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
* To assess survival of patients with localized prostate cancer at 10 years and 15 years after treatment.
* To investigate disease progression (i.e., biochemical and clinical), treatment complications, and lower urinary tract symptoms in these patients.
* To investigate the psychosocial impact of cancer detection and treatment on these patients, including generic health status, quality of life, and sexual function.
* To estimate the resource use and costs of detection, treatment, and follow-up.
* To compare costs and outcomes of treatment in terms of survival and health-related quality of life.
* To collect samples suitable for basic science research (ProMPT study).
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified by age (50-55 vs 56-59 vs 60-65 vs 66-69 years), Gleason score (6, 7, 8-10), and average result of recruitment and first biopsy prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests (\< 6 vs 6-9.9 vs ≥ 10 ng/mL). Patients are randomized or select a treatment to be followed up in a cohort study.
