Prostate cancer treatment covers the range of approaches used to manage prostate cancer, including active surveillance, surgery, radiation therapy such as brachytherapy or external-beam radiation, proton therapy, high-intensity focused ultrasound, cryosurgery, hormonal therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these. The favored option depends on factors including the cancer's stage, the Gleason score, PSA level, the patient's age and general health, and his own views on the possible side effects, such as erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence, that every treatment can carry.
