Prostate Cancer Treatments

There are many different treatments for prostate cancer that may involve simple watchful waiting, surgery, radiation therapy such as brachytherapy, High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), or cryotherapy to name a few.  The option chosen by the medical professional best depends on the stage of the disease, the Gleason score, and the PSA level. Other important factors are age, general health, and personal feelings about potential treatments and their possible side effects. Because all treatments can have significant side effects, such as erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence, prostate cancer treatment discussions often focus on balancing the goals of therapy with the risks of lifestyle alterations.
