Overview

The purpose of this study is to see if a telemedicine group doctor's appointment is a practical (feasible) and acceptable method for following people with prostate cancer being managed with active surveillance when compared with the usual approach of individual telemedicine visits, which involve the participant visiting a doctor on their own. The researchers will compare the telemedicine group and individual visits by measuring on participant satisfaction and quality of life in each type of visit.
