Prostate cancer treatment is determined by the stage of the disease, the general health of the patient, and the size and spread of the tumor. Among the prostate cancer treatment options, these treatment methods can be applied:
- Surgery: Removal of all or part of the prostate gland.
- Radiotherapy: The destruction of tumor cells by radiation.
- Urinary tract obstruction drugs: Drugs used to keep the urine flow open continuously.
- Hormone therapy: Treatment that slows or stops the production of the hormone testosterone.
- Chemotherapy: Drugs that slow down or destroy the growth of cancer cells.
The most appropriate treatment for each patient is determined by the condition, stage and general health of the disease and is made by a physician. For more information on all relevant treatment options and outcomes, contact us for information.
