Understanding Your Prostate : How Prostate Cancer is Different

What does the best research
say to do?

It is still not clear. Here’s why:

You may have heard about a Swedish study published in 2005. This study showed an improvement in survival, and in limiting cancer progression and spread with surgery compared to watchful waiting.

While the Swedish study supported surgical treatment, another study suggested that patients with low grade cancer (Gleason score of less than 5) continued to have a low risk of dying from prostate cancer even after 20 years.
