A member asked:

For what length of time can you live with prostate cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many years: While survival is completely dependent on stage of disease, aggressiveness, age, and other factors, men can live decades with treatment or even without treatment. Many men who undergo treatment for lower risk cancers see no change in their lifespan.
