Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men. According to the American Cancer Society, one in every six men will develop prostate cancer in his lifetime. Prostate cancer is very manageable and often curable. With effective treatment, more than 98% of men diagnosed with prostate cancer will live for more than 10 years after diagnosis.

Since surgery and radiation can both be equally effective treatments for prostate cancer, it is important to consider all of your treatment options. Ask your urologist about surgery and your radiation oncologist about radiation therapy. Learn about the risks and benefits of both treatment options to decide what best meets your goals, balancing cure and quality of life.
