Treatment Options
of Localized Prostate Cancer

To make any sense of these options, you must already understand that the diagnosis of prostate cancer has been made, and that the additional studies and scans suggest that no spread of the cancer from the prostate has occurred. Assuming these studies to be accurate, any treatment that can control the cancer in the prostate, will therefore control all the cancer. The following are the choices that are available to us in the treatment of localized prostate cancer (Stage B).

No Treatment Chemotherapy
Hormone Therapy Surgery

Radiation Therapy —
