BACKGROUND: The management of early stage prostatic cancer is controversial. METHODS: Pertinent literature concerning the conservative management of early stage prostatic cancer by early endocrine therapy (EET) or by deferred treatment (DT) was reviewed. RESULTS: EET has not been systematically studied. Available evidence suggests that early stage prostatic cancer often progresses slowly and that DT results in a cancer-specific mortality of approximately 80% at 10 years. CONCLUSIONS: EET warrants clinical investigation. DT is a management option, at least in patients with a life expectancy of 10 years or less.
