Is ‘acinar neoplasm’ a better name for early-stage prostate cancer?
Australian doctors are part of a push to rename a cancer so common it could be seen as a 'normal feature' of ageing'.
Early-stage prostate cancers could be rebranded ‘acinar neoplasm’ in an attempt to reduce anxiety and unnecessary treatment, according to an international group of experts.
Debate has long focused on whether the term ‘cancer’ should be used to describe grade group 1 (GG1) prostate cancer given its incidence and indolent nature.
