Prostate cancer
I was just diagnosed with prostate cancer: what are my options?
Just diagnosed with prostate cancer?
The short answer
Here's what your options look like. Many prostate cancers grow slowly.
More detail
For low-risk cancer, active surveillance means close monitoring instead of treatment right away. For cancer that needs treatment, options include robotic surgery, radiation, seed implants, and in some cases focal therapy like Vanquish, which treats the cancer area instead of the whole prostate. Your PSA, biopsy grade, MRI, and personal goals all shape the choice. You usually have time to make a careful decision.
