Can prostate cancer be cured?
Yes, if the disease is diagnosed early, that is, when the cancer has not yet spread beyond the prostate gland. Treatment that is able to cure the patient’s cancer is called radical treatment in oncology. There are two radical treatments for prostate cancer: surgery and radiation therapy. Both have comparable results in terms of effectiveness, but differ in side effects. Which of these methods is better for you may be suggested by your doctor, taking into account your age, the presence of additional diseases (especially hypertension, coronary artery disease, diabetes) or contraindications to surgery. Your opinion on this subject is very important. If there are no clear medical reasons in favor of one or the other method, the decision rests with the patient.
