A member asked:

Can you please describe the cancer types that respond well to chemotherapy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Well....: Many lymphomas, and testicular cancer, are two forms which are famously benefited by chemotherapy. Speak to your oncologist, who can better discuss the benefits of chemotherapy for your individual cancer. Good luck.

Very good evening doctors. If someone is diagnosed with prostate cancer, shouldn't the first treatment be radiation or chemotherapy, rather than an invasive prostatectomy where the prostate is completely taken out? Why am I wrong about this thinking?
