The major treatment options for early prostate cancer include:
Watchful waiting
Active surveillance
Surgery or removal of the prostate gland
Radiotherapy
Low grade disease, elderly patient often advised for watchful waiting. Treatment started once the symptoms develops. Young people who have low-grade early prostate cancer may be recommended active surveillance. If the cancer starts to progress, they will be asked to undergo surgery or radiotherapy. People who have moderate- to high-grade cancer are often recommended Radical Prostatectomy or surgery to completely remove the prostate gland or radiotherapy of the prostate. These treatments help to eliminate all the cancer cells and thus cure the cancer. The radiotherapy can be given to the patient using an external machine or even directly into the prostate gland.
