About this trial

The CHAS3 trial studies whether the Stockholm3 blood test can reliably detect if prostate cancer becomes more aggressive in men who are being carefully monitored instead of treated right away (active surveillance). The goal is to see if this test can help doctors safely follow patients with fewer invasive procedures, such as repeated biopsies.
