Treatment for prostate (and all) cancer needs to be tailored to the individual and depends on the stage of cancer and the individual's priorities. CyberKnife radiotherapy is often still used, and a list of available treatment centers can be found here: https://cyberknife.com/treatment-centers/. In this age of monoclonal antibodies and checkpoint inhibitors, there are better alternatives for many.
