A member asked:
What is the treatment for 4th stage prostate cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Stage IV prostate cancer means that it has spread to lymph nodes or other organs. Most of the patients with stage IV disease have cancer in the bones or other organs. This is first treated with hormone therapy for some time and then possibly chemotherapy, immune therapy, or radiation. If it has spread only to nodes radiation is often added to hormone therapy.
