FIGURE 1

Simplified flow chart representing complex Markov model. Patients are assigned to ART or initial observation. With each 1-month cycle, subjects can remain in their current state or progress vertically through the model. For ease of interpretation, annual rather than monthly progression probabilities are shown. A variable portion of those with a PSA recurrence on observation may proceed through SRT to no evidence of disease in the RT vertical axis.
