Why Quality of Life Matters |

In this video, PCRI's Alex and Mark Scholz, MD, discuss the concept of "quality of life" and how the overtreatment of low-grade prostate cancers inspired Dr. Scholz to co-found the PCRI. Alex also asks about what patients should know about talking with their doctors to ensure that they are receiving the optimal treatment, which sometimes means no treatment, based on their specific case, to avoid long-term side effects if possible. 0:07 Why is quality of life so important to you and the Prostate Cancer Research Institute? 2:03 How much time do patients have to make a decision about prostate cancer? 4:51 What percentage of prostate cancer patients have a Gleason 6 prostate cancer that qualifies for active surveillance? 6:13 Why are there some physicians who do not quality of life a priority when considering treatment? 7:26 How can a patient best communicate with his doctor that quality of life is important?
