Prostate Cancer Treatment

Treatments for prostate cancer are effective in most men.

  • They cause both short- and long-term side effects that may be difficult to accept.

  • You and your life partner or family members should discuss your treatment options in detail with your urologist and other physicians.

  • Make sure you understand which treatments are available, how effective each is likely to be, and what side effects can be expected.

  • You must weigh all these choices carefully before making a decision about which course to pursue.
