Prostate Cancer Treatment
Prostate cancer treatment options vary based on the cancer's stage and the patient's overall health. Common treatments include surgery to remove the prostate, radiation therapy to target cancer cells, and hormone therapy to reduce testosterone levels that can fuel cancer growth.
In some cases, doctors may recommend active surveillance, where the cancer is closely monitored without immediate treatment. This approach is often suitable for slow-growing cancers. Each treatment plan is personalized, considering factors like the patient's age, cancer aggressiveness, and personal preferences.
