What to do about prostate cancer treatment and cure?

Dr. James Lin answered

Here are some ...: Largely, 2 approaches to prostate cancer exist, consisting of definitive Rx intending to "cure" & palliative Rx intending to make patients more comfortable while alive. Despite intending to cure, real cure is far from perfection but with a price such as after radical surgery, radiation - external beam or radio seed implant, or cryotherapy. So, in reality, almost 1/3-1/2 of treated pts may relapse.
