Advances in Treatments
If you have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, you face an important decision. Which treatment is best for you? In the past, common treatment options for prostate cancer may have seemed harsh, unpredictable, or had alarming side effects.
For these and other reasons, including the fact that prostate cancer tends to be slow growing, some men choose a course of action called “watchful waiting.” This means routinely monitoring the progress of the disease without specific treatment, while being alert to the possible spread of the disease.
Fortunately, advances in technology have led to improvements in treatment. Today, there are a range of treatments available for prostate cancer. In choosing a treatment, you should look for one that combines the best possible outcome with minimal side effects.
