Prostate Cancer Treatments

Treating Prostate Cancer

The detection of prostate cancer while it is still localized (hasn’t spread past the prostate), combined with improvements in technology and our understanding of prostate cancer, means the chances for recovery have improved significantly. Today, men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer, who have an expected life span of at least ten years, have a number of options for treatment with high likelihood of cure. These include surgery to remove the cancerous prostate or delivering radiation therapy (either external or with radioactive seed implant) to the prostate, sometimes with hormonal therapy.
