Information
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death
among men. In 2002 it is estimated that 30,200 men will die from prostate
cancer and 189,000 men will be diagnosed (American Cancer Society Facts
& Figures 2002). The incidence of prostate cancer increases with age with
75% of all prostate cancers being diagnosed in men over the age of 65.
Prostate Cancer Management
The critical focus for the treatment of prostate cancer is to treat those cancers
where it is necessary, and not to treat those that do not need it.
Decisions
about the best management of prostate cancer can be complex and depend upon the:
- Pathology of the cancer (unlike other cancers, prostate cancer often progresses very slowly)
- Stage of the disease (non-metastatic (localized or locally advanced), metastatic or hormone refractory)
- Age and general health of the patients at diagnosis
- The impact that treatment can have on quality of life, including sexual activity.
- Patient's preference for treatment
- PSA at diagnosis
