Choosing what to do for prostate cancer can be one of the toughest decisions a man makes in his lifetime. There are many options for treatment of prostate cancer.

Dr. William Stiles, board certified Urological Surgeon, Osteopathic Physician, Men's Health Expert and functional medicine trained doctor educates men about various prostate conditions, including prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), chronic prostatitis, interstitial cystitis, erectile dysfunction, hormones, and whole body optimization.

Estimated one in seven men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. An estimated 220,000 men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year. Prostate cancer can be a complex issue for the patient and his family to understand. There are many treatment options for prostate cancer including surgical removal of the prostate, external beam radiation (IMRT / SBRT), proton beam therapy, cryotherapy, hormone treatment, chemotherapy, focal treatment, and even not immediately treating prostate cancer for low risk cases (Active surveillance). Early detection of prostate cancer is important. Most prostate cancers are detected when the cancer is still contained within the prostate gland, but some cancers are advanced and have moved outside of the prostate gland (metastatic). Each person with prostate cancer has their own unique conditions and situations that can affect treatment decisions going forward. Cancer staging radiographs (CT scan, bone scan, PET scan, MRI, etc) are often done by the urologist that performed the prostate biopsy to assess for spread of cancer outside of the prostate.

Regardless, of the treatment you choose for prostate cancer, optimizing overall health and wellness is an important part of any successful treatment plan.
