Explain the Acronyms Please!

[JamesHChi]

I check the site occasionally because I am also a member of the community, currently working under the "active surveillance" guidance of my urologist, in consult with a surgeon and radiology oncologist. Here's my problem--I am very interested in what all the other gentleman have experienced, questions, and recommendations. However, getting through postings without a glossary of all the acronyms used is a royal pain right near my prostate, if you get my drift (hopefully no one is offended at the butt of my joke). Seriously--it's just an alphabet mish-mash after a while. Anywhere on the site for explanations and translations?

Thanks.

Thank you. It’s amazing anyone could remember all of them. Much appreciate your help.

Over time, one gets familiar with the ones that are the most relevant to one's own situation. I try to put the first use of an abbreviation in bold parentheses in my blog, but I probably forget sometimes. In journals, some of them now include an abbreviation list below the abstract. When in doubt, you can just google it along with "prostate cancer."
