Unfortunately we can’t accept anyone who:
• Has previously received treatment for prostate cancer

If you think you are eligible, please get in contact with your nearest participating centre.
A research nurse will contact you to:
- Confirm that you are eligible by asking you a series of questions about your health
- Post a patient information sheet (PIS) to you
- Book you in for a consent and randomisation visit. During this visit you will be asked to complete a consent form indicating that you understand what the trial involves and that you agree to take part. Once all of these have been completed, you will then be randomised to one of two groups: finasteride and active surveillance or active surveillance alone
