Prostate Cancer is treatable and can be cured if caught in the early stages ie before it has spread. The problem is that by the time symptoms are noticed it is often too late to halt the spread of this disease.The need to urinate frequently especially during the night ( Nocturia) is one of the signs, a blood test for PSA will indicate the presence of this cancer, it is preferred if this reading is below 5, if necessary a Consultant will perform a biopsy for further examination, several core samples are taken and the extent of the disease is ascertained.Treatment is usually by hormone therapy to start with followed by radiotherapy, some patients require hormone therapy permanently even after the radiotherapy has finished. A course of 37 daily radiotherapy doses is the usual amount and these are given in three different positions with a zap of 15 seconds in each position.This can cause side effects of varying degrees from incontinence to bowel problems, some people are hardly affected at all while others have more serious long term side effects. A recall every 10-12 weeks with blood tests is the common follow up.Depending on age and other factors surgery is also an alternative treatment, again if it hasn%26#039;t spread this can be completely successful.It is usually more aggressive in young men under the age of 45, so if you have any suspicions it is vital not to delay seeking diagnosis and treatment.|||No, its not easily treatable or curable. Sorry.|||it can be if it%26#039;s detected early enough|||No cancer is easily treated but like any cancer if its caught early enough theres more chance of any treatment working.|||It is treatable and curable if caught early.|||no, unless it%26#039;s in really early stages|||yes it can if caught early enough be treated and cured|||If it`s caught early it`s curable. That`s why they tell men to check themselves regularly - like us women with the breasts - we don`t always do what we should…….|||My grandfather had it a very long time ago, he went to mexico and had it treated and it went away. He moved from Michigan to Arizona so he could be treated in Mexico. when he was done he moved back.|||weoll……..easy is a tricky term….in some cases,a cure is possibleie,total remission.in others,may be harder….just depends on the time and duration of the disease……….also,sometimes ,this can spread to lymph system,and show up in lungs and bones……good luck……..|||as far as i know if it is not spread in the body you can even take off the prostate and put a synthetic one and cure the metastasis with chemotherapy. basically unless you really get it at the last stage the chances of dying of prostate cancer are really slim

the only thing i am not comfortable with is that you did not specify anything about the stage so i would be careful at what you interpret from my answer|||Prostate cancer is a slow growing cancer. Did you get a blood test to check your PSA level. Do it, and if the reading is high, get a biopsy done on your prostate. It%26#039;s not a comfortable thing to have done, but it%26#039;s better than dying. If early stages, they can treat it without an operation. If in later stages then an operation is in order.

I was an old fart, so they removed all, even my testicles.|||Yes. prostate cancer is curable, it depends, at which stage it is at. My best advice is for you to read the following website, and most of all, don%26#039;t ever loose hope. I pray for you, that everything goes ok for you and your family.|||like most cancers, if it caught early enough a LOT can be done. As far as I know it is treatable and they can remove the prostate gland, but I am no doctor|||Depends on the stage. Also it doesn%26#039;t mean you have cancer because the PSA is elevated. he%26#039;ll need a physical exam, biopsy, and scans to tell for sure. If it is cancer, there are a few treatments available, radiation, surgery, and I recently read an article where physicians were using ultrasound to break up the tumors with good success. Only your doctor can help you out at this point.|||If he%26#039;s having his psa tested on a regular basis what is his dr. doing about it?

If he%26#039;s waiting and watching then perhaps it is not too high. It does increase with age.

If caught early, it is treatable nd the resultsareusually good. . A rising PSA is not an automatic indicator of cancer The big thing is, he %26amp; his dr are staying on top of it.

Be concerned, ? Yes. Worry? no.|||Unfortunately it is not easy to treat. Early prostate cancer is sometimes monitored only as the treatment may be worse than the disease and it may be slow growing.

Treatments available include hormones surgery and radium inserts.

The treatment for Prostate Cancer are Surgery, Chemotherapy, Harmon therapy and Radiation therapy. The full detials of these treatments are -

SURGERY: For early stage prostate cancer, surgery is the best option and the most common one. Radical prostatectomy involves complete removal of the prostate. During the surgery, a sample of the lymph nodes near the prostate is removed to determine whether the cancer has spread beyond the prostate gland. Because the seminal vesicles (the glands where sperm is made) are removed along with the prostate, infertility is a side effect of this type of surgery. In order to minimize the risk of impotence (inability to have an erection) and incontinence (inability to control urine flow), a procedure known as %26quot;nervesparing%26quot; prostatectomy is used.

RADIATION THERAPY. Radiation therapy involves the use of high-energy x rays to kill cancer cells or to shrink tumors. It can be used instead of surgery for early stages of cancer. The radiation can either be administered from a machine outside the body (external beam radiation), or small radioactive pellets can be implanted in the prostate gland in the area surrounding the tumor.

HORMONE THERAPY. Hormone therapy is commonly used when the cancer is in an advanced stage and has spread to other parts of the body. Prostate cells need the male hormone testosterone to grow. Decreasing the levels of this hormone, or inhibiting its activity, will cause the cancer to shrink. Hormone levels can be decreased in several ways. Orchiectomy is a surgical procedure that involves complete removal of the testicles, leading to a decrease in the levels of testosterone.

CHEMOTHERAPY. Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. The drugs can either be taken as a pill or injected into the body through a needle that is inserted into a blood vessel. This type of treatment is called systemic treatment, because the drug enters the blood stream, travels through the whole body, and kills the cancer cells that are outside the prostate.

all the above treatements are must and has to be given as CANCER IS STILL AN ENIGMA. For further detials see the following weblink-http://www.answers.com/topic/prostate-ca…|||What are some of the treatment options for prostate cancer?

The treatment options for prostate cancer depend in part on whether the tumor has spread. For tumors that are still inside the prostate, radiation therapy (using x-rays that kill the cancer cells) and a surgery called radical prostatectomy are common treatment options. %26quot;Watchful waiting%26quot; is also a treatment option. In this approach, no treatment is given until the tumor gets bigger. Watchful waiting may be the best choice for an older man who has a higher risk of dying from something other than his prostate cancer.

Generally, tumors that have grown beyond the edge of the prostate can%26#039;t be cured with either radiation or surgery. They can be treated with hormones that slow the cancer%26#039;s growth.

What is radical prostatectomy?

Radical prostatectomy is a surgery to remove the whole prostate gland and the nearby lymph nodes. Most men who have this surgery are under general anesthesia (puts you into a sleep-like state). After the prostate gland is taken out, a catheter (a narrow rubber tube) is put through the penis into the bladder to carry urine out of the body until the area heals.

What are the risks and benefits of radical prostatectomy?

If you%26#039;re in good health, the short-term risks of this surgery are low. The hospital stay is usually 2 to 3 days, with the catheter left in place for 2 to 3 weeks. You%26#039;re usually able to go back to work in about 1 month. You shouldn%26#039;t have severe pain with this surgery. Most men regain bladder control a few weeks to several months after the surgery.

The main advantage of surgery is that it offers the most certain treatment. That is, if all of the cancer is removed during surgery, you are probably cured. Also, the surgery provides your doctor with accurate information about how advanced your cancer is, since the nearby lymph nodes are taken out along with the tumor.

Surgery does have risks and complications. You could lose a lot of blood during this surgery. Before the surgery, you might want to save about 2 units of your own blood in case you need a transfusion. The main risks of this surgery are incontinence (lack of bladder control) and impotence (loss of the ability to get or keep an erection long enough to have sex). Fortunately, only a very low percentage of men have severe incontinence after radical prostatectomy. Up to 35% of men have a little accidental leakage of urine during heavy lifting, coughing or laughing.

The chance of impotence decreases if the surgeon is able to avoid cutting the nerves. This may not be possible if the tumor is large. Your age and degree of sexual function before the surgery are also important factors. If you%26#039;re under 50 years old when you have this surgery, you%26#039;re likely to regain sexual function. If you%26#039;re older than 70, you%26#039;re more likely to lose sexual function. Remember, even if the nerves are cut, feeling in your penis and orgasm remain normal. Only the ability to get a rigid penis for sexual intercourse is lost. However, there are medicines and devices that can help make the penis rigid.

What is radiation therapy? What are its risks and benefits?

There are 2 types of radiation therapy. In one type, called external beam radiation therapy, radiation is given from a machine like an x-ray machine. In another type, radioactive pellets (called %26quot;seeds%26quot;) are injected into the prostate gland. This is sometimes called seed therapy or brachytherapy (say: %26quot;break-ee-ther-uh-pee%26quot;). Both types work about the same in curing prostate cancer.

The machine therapy is usually given 5 days a week over 7 weeks, which you might find time-consuming. However, you don%26#039;t need any anesthesia. The side effects are milder than the side effects that can come with seed therapy. However, seed therapy can be done with just one hospital visit. For seed therapy, you have to have anesthesia for a few minutes, but you should be able to go home right after the treatment. In seed therapy, higher doses of radiation can be put right on the cancer. You may feel more discomfort after this treatment.

About one half of patients become impotent within 2 years of having radiation therapy. Many men feel very tired at the end of the treatment period. About 15% to 30% of men who have radiation therapy have urinary burning, urinary bleeding, frequent urination, rectal bleeding, rectal discomfort or diarrhea during or shortly after the treatment. Serious complications are rare. However, a degree of uncertainty goes along with radiation treatment. Since the prostate gland and the lymph nodes are not taken out, your doctor can%26#039;t tell the exact size of the tumor. The cancer could come back many years after radiation treatment.

At 10 years after treatment, cure rates are about the same for radiation therapy and radical prostatectomy. There are no surgical risks for men who have radiation therapy. There%26#039;s no risk of bleeding. You don%26#039;t have to stay in the hospital. You%26#039;ll recover faster. Daily activities can usually go on during the treatment. Incontinence is extremely rare afterward. However, surgery may give you a better chance of cure over the long term.

What are the risks and benefits of watchful waiting?

Many prostate cancers are small and grow slowly. Because many men with a slow-growing tumor have the same life expectancy as men who don%26#039;t even have prostate cancer, it may not be necessary to treat very small, very slow-growing prostate tumors. Also, some men feel that the side effects of treatment outweigh the benefits. In watchful waiting, you get no treatment, but you see your doctor often. If there%26#039;s no sign the cancer is growing, you continue to get no treatment. Hormone therapy can be started if the cancer starts to grow.

It can be hard to tell if a small tumor is going to grow slowly or quickly. Your doctor will get clues about the way your tumor will grow by checking your prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, examining the biopsy tissue and giving you a rectal exam. The choice of watchful waiting is up to you.

What is the purpose of hormone therapy?

The purpose of hormone therapy is to lower the level of the male hormones, called androgens, which are produced mostly in the testicles. This is because androgens, such as testosterone, help the prostate tumor grow. Monthly shots can be given or the testicles can be surgically removed. Once the testosterone is out of your body, the prostate cancer usually shrinks. Hormone treatments are most often used in patients with cancer that has already spread beyond the prostate gland.

While prostate cancer usually responds to 1 or 2 years of hormone therapy, after some time most tumors start to grow again. Once this happens, the treatment goal is to control symptoms. No treatment can cure prostate cancer after hormone therapy stops helping.

What happens after prostate cancer treatment?

You should get PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood tests every 6 months for 5 years, and then once every year. A rise in PSA levels usually means that the cancer has come back. A digital rectal examination should be done once a year.

i had radiation treatment 4years ago and there is know strong feeling in my penis whats up with that? it seem that theres know blood flowing to the penis for it to get hard,, sperm comes out.

Good luck to you and yours.|||This is a major question that should be discussed with his doctor, not on the computer. Husband should ask what all the pros and cons will be for each operation, and how it could affect other health issues he may have.|||What stage? How virulent is it? The biopsies should tell you. Please tell me WTF %26quot;robatic%26quot; surgery is.

Most prostate cancer at in a man%26#039;s 50%26#039;s is pretty aggressive. The most common treatment is prostatectomy through the supra pubic approach (from the front). Surgical techniques nowadays can generally spare the nerve connections to the prostate and surrounding area such that the patient can still have his sexual function preserved - though this is not guaranteed.

I am a former nurse and took care a many prostate surgery patients. My Dad also died from prostate cancer - and he was a retired doctor. He had had surgery to reduce a benign swollen prostate and figured after that, he didn%26#039;t need an annual exam. 5 years later a digital rectal exam revealed a rock hard prostate characteristic of metastatic cancer. He died in severe pain 2 years later after multiple radiation treatments and after being castrated.

One of my friends was diagnosed with prostate cancer at the age of 51 and had a prostatectomy. His disease was not beyond the prostate wall, but his numbers were still pretty high. He is cancer free after 4 years, but was one of the unfortunate patients that lost his sexual performance almost completely.|||Go to youtube.com and search peoplesway.

Any definitive prostate therapy requires a skillful and practiced doctor. It takes at least 200 surgeries for a doctor to become proficient.

Robotic surgery is far less painful and traumatic than conventional open surgery. There is also much lower risk of incontinence and impotence. If you have access to a skilled robotics surgeon, by all means, this is the preferred choice.

Yes, a person can die from prostate cancer. But that does not mean that anyone who develops prostate cancer WILL die from it. There are multiple types of treatments and most are very successful at eliminating the cancer completely and extending life expectancy if caught in time. This is why it is so important for men to have annual prostate exams when they reach the age of 50. Higher risk males, due to ethnicity, health background, etc. should have annual prostate exams beginning at age 45.
