    Not sure if your link is the same as I’ve read, but yes, the thing with prostate cancer is that treatment doesn’t seem to change the outcome.

    This is most likely because it usually doesn’t develop until mid-50’s or later, and grows so slowly that it doesn’t have time to kill you.

    I think the concern would be it occurring in younger ages, or it growing faster than typical.

    So test and monitor is likely a good thing, treatment shouldn’t be a given, unless there are clear signs.
