Prostate cancer treatments depend on the stage of the cancer, the individual's symptoms and general health, and other factors. Choices for advanced prostate cancer include surgery (orchiectomy or prostatectomy), radiation, hormone therapy, chemotherapy, brachytherapy, cryotherapy and doing nothing. If you have this cancer, it's important to make sure you know all the options and understand which ones your doctor recommends for your particular situation.
