Explore Your Treatment Options

Understanding all available treatment options is crucial for making decisions that align with your values and goals. Your options depend on your cancer’s aggressiveness, age, health, priorities—and sometimes geography. Most men have time to gather information before deciding.

To PFOC reviewers: Because we talk so often in meetings and presentations about most of these treatments, each category probably warrants a separate page, to reference local centers of excellence, presentations we have, side effects, etc., even though we'll also give links to authoritative sites.
