There are treatments for all patients with prostate cancer. The most Common types of treatments are:

1. Surgery (taking out the cancer)
2. Radiotherapy (the use of high doses of x-rays or other high-energy rays to kill cancer cells)
3. Hormone Therapy (using hormones to stop cancer cell growth)
4. Chemotherapy (using drugs to kill cancer cells)
5. Biological Therapy (using the body's immune system to fight cancer)

Surgery is one of the most common treatments for prostate cancer. Your doctor may remove the cancer using one of the following. Surgery is reseved for those patients in good health, with less than 70 years of age and who choose surgery as their best option.

Is the removal of the prostate and some tissue around it. The doctor can perform surgery through an incision in the area between the scrotum and anus (perineum) using an operation known as perineal prostatectomy or through an incision in the lower abdomen using an operation known as retropubic prostatectomy. Radical prostatectomy is performed only if the cancer has not spread outside the prostate. Usually, before carrying out the prostatectomy, the doctor will perform surgery to remove pelvic lymph nodes in order to determine the presence of cancer. This procedure is called lymph node dissection pelvic lymph. If the lymph nodes contain cancer, the doctor usually does a no fee prostatectomy and may recommend other therapy. Men who have been treated with surgery may suffer from impotence and spillage of urine from the bladder.

Is the removal of prostate cancer using an instrument with a small wire loop on the end which is inserted into the prostate through the urethra. This operation is sometimes done to relieve symptoms caused by the tumor before further treatment or apply to men who can not support a radical prostatectomy due to age or other disease. 

One type of surgery where the cancer is destroyed by freezing.

Is the use of high-energy X-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. The radiation may come from a machine outside the body (external radiation therapy) or from putting materials that produce radiation (radioisotopes) through thin plastic tubes into the area where cancer cells are found (internal radiation therapy). Men who have been treated with radiation therapy may suffer from impotence. 

Involves using drugs to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy may be taken by pill, or it can enter the body through a needle inserted into a vein or muscle. Chemotherapy is called a systemic treatment because the drug enters the bloodstream, travels through the body and can kill cancer cells outside the prostate. To date, chemotherapy has not had any significant effect in treating prostate cancer, however, labs are conducting clinical trials to find more effective drugs.

Is to treat your body to fight cancer. In biological therapy uses materials made by your own body or made in a laboratory to boost, direct or restore the body's natural defenses against disease. Biological therapy therapy is known as biological response modifier (BMR) or immunotherapy.
