Prostate cancer support group meets next week

The Monday, Aug. 8, meeting of the Yolo Prostate Cancer Support Group will feature a presentation about initial results from the PIVOT study (Prostate Cancer Intervention Versus Observation Trial).

The research project was conducted to evaluate the comparative benefits of active surveillance in contrast to radical prostatectomy for low-risk prostate cancer patients.

Considerations before undergoing a prostate biopsy also will be discussed.

The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. in the first-floor conference room at the Sutter Medical Foundation building, 2030 Sutter Place in West Davis. Admission is free.
