Falls and frailty in prostate cancer survivors: current, past, and never users of androgen deprivation therapy.
This study compared the prevalence of and association between falls and frailty of prostate cancer survivors (PCSs) who were current, past or never users of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). It concluded that current and past exposure to ADT is linked to higher risk of falls and frailty than no treatment.

Utilization and predictors of expectant management among elderly men with low-and intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer in U.S. urological practice.
Researchers assessed the use and predictors of expectant management (EM) to understand its uptake in U.S. practice. In U.S. practice, the utilization of EM steadily increased in low-risk prostate cancer and remained low in the intermediate-risk group over time. While patients with advanced age or comorbidities were more likely to receive EM, its use varied substantially by geographic region.
