* 30-80 y/o at time of diagnosis with a life expectancy of \>= 3 yrs
* focally positive surgical margins are permitted
* no plan to receive adjuvant hormone or radiation therapy
* PSA at the time of enrollment must be undetectable
* life expectancy of 3 years

Exclusion Criteria

* must not have exceeded 3 months from time of surgery to enrollment into study

* radiation therapy as primary treatment after surgery
