Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Early prostate cancer may have no clinical manifestations and may be found on a routine physical.It is slow-growing and may never become a problem for the client.Close follow-up (or watchful waiting)is the common prescription for this stage unless the client experiences symptoms.Telling the client that surgery is not justified,or that the cancer is too advanced at this point,and stating that he does not have cancer are inaccurate statements.
