Standard treatments to control the prostate cancer.
Standard treatments to control the prostate cancer.
Treatments usually include a combination of brachytherapy, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy and surgery to alleviate urinary symptoms. Patients at stage III are at high risk for metastatic spread of prostate cancer. The treatment goal is to maximally destroy the cancer and reduce the possibility of further spread. Some patients may have untraceable metastatic spread which requires indefinite systemic hormonal treatment.
The goals of treatment focus on slowing disease progression, improving quality of life and increasing survival time.
