Abstract:
Many improvements have been made regarding the management of prostate cancer. The standard therapeutic options for localised prostate cancer remain radical prostatectomy, external beam radiation therapy, and brachytherapy. However, some minimally invasive treatments are being investigated, including high intensity focused ultrasound and cryotherapy. In the future these therapies may replace standard treatments in selected patients. On the other hand, only few advances have been made in the treatment of non-localised prostate cancer. Locally advanced cancer is treated with combination of radiotherapy and hormonotherapy, and metastatic cancer is treated with hormone therapy. Docetaxel may improve patient survival in hormone-refractory disease.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
