A member asked:

What do you suggest if my dad is diagnosed with prostate cancer, and doctor is saying for removal of testicles,?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Options: Lowering testosterone levels can be very effective in controlling prostate cancer for a period of time. This can be done by removal of the testicles or by 'androgen deprivation' medications, typically an injection given every 3-4 months.
