Pathological upgrading in prostate cancer patients eligible for active surveillance: Does prostate-specific antigen density matter?

Because tumor upgrading increases the potential for postoperative pathological adverse findings and prognosis, PSA density should be considered when treating and consulting patients eligible for active surveillance.
