Semantic heterogeneity exists regarding terminology for active surveillance (AS) for prostate cancer. A panel of leading specialists in prostate cancer and AS involved in the Movember Foundation's Global Action Plan Prostate Cancer Active Surveillance (GAP3) consortium participated in a consensus-forming project to reach international consensus on definitions of terms related to this management option. This standard terminology could support multidisciplinary communication, reduce the extent of variations in clinical practice and optimize clinical decision making.
