• Integrate biomarkers in development of guidelines
  for efficient strategies for active surveillance
• Deliver validated biomarker tools that are easily
  applicable for high throughput use in clinical
  and screening settings
• Establish overall acceptance of active
  surveillance as a treatment modality for indolent
  prostate cancer
