Abstract
At Kuma Hospital, acceptance of AS for low-risk PMC gradually increased over the 24-year study period, but AS was not equally accepted by all physicians. Such variations in the acceptance of AS among individual physicians are also expected to exist in other hospitals. However, due to increasing evidence of the safety and superiority of AS over immediate surgery for this indolent disease, it is expected that AS will gain faster acceptance in other hospitals in Japan and around the world.
