After Your Treatment : If Your Cancer Returns

What we have talked about
so far: EARLY stage prostate cancer

The treatments listed in this website, so far, are for men with early stage prostate cancer.

  • Early stage prostate cancer is still confined in the prostate.
  • It is cancer that has appeared not to have spread.
  • It is cancer that may be easier to cure.
  • The aim of treatment is to cure the cancer or to treat symptoms that may occur.
  • Watchful waiting, surgery, and radiation are all local treatments. This means they just affect the prostate gland. They may work because the cancer is confined to the prostate and has not spread.
  • In addition to local treatment, your doctor may suggest other treatment such as lowering male hormones.
