On your Prostate Cancer Journey...

Understand 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.

Active Surveillance

Active Surveillance is an option not to treat but to monitor. For many men, it's a great option. 

Radical Prostatectomy

Surgical removal of the entire prostate gland, often performed robotically for precision and faster recovery.

Focal Therapies

Minimally invasive treatments that target specific cancer areas while preserving healthy prostate tissue.

Immunotherapy & Tageted Therapy

Treatments that harness the body's immune system to fight cancer cells, including therapeutic vaccines.

External Beam Radiation Therapy

High-energy beams delivered from outside the body to destroy cancer cells while preserving surrounding healthy tissue.

Hormone Therapy

Treatment that reduces testosterone levels to slow or stop hormone-sensitive prostate cancer growth.

Clinical Trials

Research studies testing new treatments that may offer access to cutting-edge therapies before they're widely available.

Brachytherapy

Radioactive seeds placed directly into the prostate to deliver targeted radiation from within the gland.

Chemotherapy

Systemic drug treatment typically used for advanced or metastatic prostate cancer when other treatments are insufficient.
