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.

Since prostate cancer is slow growing and may not interfere with life expectancy, some men choose a course of action called “watchful waiting, or expectant management.” This means routinely monitoring the progress of the disease without specific treatment, while being alert to the possible spread of the disease.

But expectant management is only acceptable for a minority of men. Others will need to decide on one of any number of treatment options. 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, one should examine which option that combines the best possible outcome with the fewest side effects.
