Prostate Cancer is treatable and can be cured if caught in the early stages ie before it has spread. The problem is that by the time symptoms are noticed it is often too late to halt the spread of this disease.The need to urinate frequently especially during the night ( Nocturia) is one of the signs, a blood test for PSA will indicate the presence of this cancer, it is preferred if this reading is below 5, if necessary a Consultant will perform a biopsy for further examination, several core samples are taken and the extent of the disease is ascertained.Treatment is usually by hormone therapy to start with followed by radiotherapy, some patients require hormone therapy permanently even after the radiotherapy has finished. A course of 37 daily radiotherapy doses is the usual amount and these are given in three different positions with a zap of 15 seconds in each position.This can cause side effects of varying degrees from incontinence to bowel problems, some people are hardly affected at all while others have more serious long term side effects. A recall every 10-12 weeks with blood tests is the common follow up.Depending on age and other factors surgery is also an alternative treatment, again if it hasn’t spread this can be completely successful.It is usually more aggressive in young men under the age of 45, so if you have any suspicions it is vital not to delay seeking diagnosis and treatment.

it can be if it’s detected early enough

No cancer is easily treated but like any cancer if its caught early enough theres more chance of any treatment working.
November 21st, 2009 at 8:33 pm
It is treatable and curable if caught early.
November 21st, 2009 at 8:33 pm
no, unless it’s in really early stages
November 21st, 2009 at 8:33 pm
yes it can if caught early enough be treated and cured
November 21st, 2009 at 8:33 pm
If it`s caught early it`s curable. That`s why they tell men to check themselves regularly - like us women with the breasts - we don`t always do what we should…….

My grandfather had it a very long time ago, he went to mexico and had it treated and it went away. He moved from Michigan to Arizona so he could be treated in Mexico. when he was done he moved back.

weoll……..easy is a tricky term….in some cases,a cure is possibleie,total remission.in others,may be harder….just depends on the time and duration of the disease……….also,sometimes ,this can spread to lymph system,and show up in lungs and bones……good luck……..

as far as i know if it is not spread in the body you can even take off the prostate and put a synthetic one and cure the metastasis with chemotherapy. basically unless you really get it at the last stage the chances of dying of prostate cancer are really slim
the only thing i am not comfortable with is that you did not specify anything about the stage so i would be careful at what you interpret from my answer

Prostate cancer is a slow growing cancer. Did you get a blood test to check your PSA level. Do it, and if the reading is high, get a biopsy done on your prostate. It’s not a comfortable thing to have done, but it’s better than dying. If early stages, they can treat it without an operation. If in later stages then an operation is in order. If you are young, they can leave your seminal vessels so you can still enjoy sex. I was an old fart, so they removed all, even my testicles.

Yes. prostate cancer is curable, it depends, at which stage it is at. My best advice is for you to read the following website, and most of all, don’t ever loose hope. I pray for you, that everything goes ok for you and your family.

like most cancers, if it caught early enough a LOT can be done. As far as I know it is treatable and they can remove the prostate gland, but I am no doctor
November 21st, 2009 at 8:33 pm
Depends on the stage. Also it doesn’t mean you have cancer because the PSA is elevated. he’ll need a physical exam, biopsy, and scans to tell for sure. If it is cancer, there are a few treatments available, radiation, surgery, and I recently read an article where physicians were using ultrasound to break up the tumors with good success. Only your doctor can help you out at this point.

If he’s having his psa tested on a regular basis what is his dr. doing about it?
If he’s waiting and watching then perhaps it is not too high. It does increase with age.
If caught early, it is treatable nd the resultsareusually good. . A rising PSA is not an automatic indicator of cancer The big thing is, he & his dr are staying on top of it.
Be concerned, ? Yes. Worry? no.

Unfortunately it is not easy to treat. Early prostate cancer is sometimes monitored only as the treatment may be worse than the disease and it may be slow growing.
Treatments available include hormones surgery and radium inserts.
