Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men. Though the five year survival rate is relatively high, prostate cancer is still the second cause of cancer related death after lung cancer for men in many western countries. The treatment plan is developed from one’s age, general health condition, stage, and grade of cancer and side effects with treatment. Expectant management or watchful waiting is recommended if the patient is old or has other serious health condition and if the tumor is localized and has no symptoms since prostate cancer often grows very slowly. If the prostate tumor grows more quickly or causes symptoms, active treatments will be suggested. |
