    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Oncology

    Context:

    • Prostate cancer treatment varies significantly based on disease stage, tumor differentiation, and patient age.
    • Early-stage localized prostate cancer (T1-T2 N0 M0) is typically managed with local therapies.

    Purpose:

    • To outline therapeutic strategies for prostate cancer based on disease characteristics.
    • To discuss the efficacy and side effects of various treatment modalities.

    Summary:

    • Radical prostatectomy offers the best cure rates for localized disease in eligible patients but has high rates of impotence and low rates of incontinence.
    • Radiation therapy (external or interstitial) is an alternative for localized disease (T1-T3 N0 M0), with varying survival rates based on stage.
    • Systemic therapies, including hormonal treatments and chemotherapy, are used for advanced or hormone-resistant prostate cancer, with palliative goals.
