Of a treatment for prostate cancer, your doctor will recommend the treatment option that suits you best. The decision will be progressed on your overall health and how your cancer is from.

Therefore, a tissue sample is taken to verify or refute the presence of cancer be. Note that early treatment usually has a better chance of recovery.
Surgery
Men, the best candidates for surgery for prostate cancer are more likely to receive a recovery procedure successfully. They are men with good general health and have no side conditions that may interfere with the recovery and heart problems. The operation can be some serious side effects, such as incontinence and impotence.
Radiation
There are 3 different types of radiation. EBRT is typically a stream of X-rays sent to the basin of a device outside the body. X-ray burn cancer cancer by repeated therapy for several weeks.
Replacement therapy is external beam proton therapy. Instead of using X-rays, protons, ions or charged particles are their pelvis is released again by a device outside the body.
Brach therapy is the introduction of various radioactive seeds directly into the prostate. Implanted with a series of injections, while you are under general anesthesia.
All treatments of radiation above removed on the principle of incineration work of cancer cancer with high-energy particles. Radiation can occur over time, and subject to the same side-effects such as surgery.

The result is an oriented material, which cannot replicate, and therefore do not continue to develop. Healthy tissue will be omitted, because the effective surface area of ​​the ultrasonic pulse is very weak and only a few cubic millimeters can be carried out at a time. This is performed on a patient and does not impair the quality of life of some of the other treatments to be done. HIFU is also in fewer side effects than surgery or radiotherapy resist.
