Your prostate cancer treatment options depend on several factors, such as how
fast your cancer is growing, how much it has spread, your overall health, as well
as the benefits and the potential side effects of the treatment.
The Treatment options for men with prostate cancer
may include:

 Surgery
 Radiation therapy
 Hormone therapy

 Chemotherapy



Surgery :
Surgery is a common choice to try to cure prostate cancer if it is not thought to
have spread outside the gland (stage T1 or T2 cancers).

The main type of surgery for prostate cancer is known as a radical
prostatectomy. In this operation, the surgeon removes the entire prostate gland
plus some of the tissue around it, including the seminal vesicles. A radical
prostatectomy can be done in different ways.
• Radical Prostatectomy Surgery : Radical prostatectomy
surgery aims to remove the whole prostate gland and the
near by lymph nodes. After the prostate gland is taken out
through an incision, a catheter (a narrow rubber tube) is
put in the bladder to carry urine out of the body until the
area heals.



• Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy : The surgeon deploys a Laproscope a
thin tube with a tiny camera . Its a minimally invasive procedure where small
cuts are made near the tumor site, and thin tools are used to remove the tumor
and surrounding tissue. Usually patient are given general anaesthesia or an
epidural or spinal anaesthesia that blocks nerve routes from the spine and
numbs the area. If the cancer spreads outside the esophagus, it often goes to
the lymph nodes first. (Lymph nodes are small, bean-shaped structures that are
part of the body's immune system.) Esophageal cancer can also spread to
almost any other part of the body, including the liver, lungs, brain, and bones.

Laser Surgery for Enlarged Prostate Cancer :
Green Light Laser PVP : Photoselective Vaporization of
the Prostate (PVP), also known as the Green Light Laser,
has emerged as the treatment of choice for most patients
having surgery for BPH. It is minimally invasive in the
sense that all the work to open the prostate channel is
made through the penis, without an incision on the
abdomen.
The obstructive prostate tissue is vaporized by the directed laser beam. This is
done under spinal or general anesthesia. The advantages of this approach over
the traditional TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) are many:





Rapid urine flow improvement.
Quick return to normal activities.
Virtually bloodless procedure.
Outpatient procedure in otherwise healthy patients.



Radiation therapy :
Radiotherapy for prostate cancer is usually given as external
beam radiotherapy. There are other, newer types of external
beam radiotherapy. These include conformal radiotherapy
(CRT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).
Some men can have brachytherapy (also called internal
radiotherapy). This is when small radioactive seeds are
inserted into the tumour. It’s only suitable for a small
number of men with locally advanced prostate cancer.
Whether it’s given or not depends on how much the cancer may have spread
beyond the prostate gland. Brachytherapy is usually given in combination with
external radiotherapy.
Depending on your situation, your doctor may suggest you have hormonal therapy
before or after your radiotherapy.


Hormone therapy :
Hormone therapy is also called androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) or androgen
suppression therapy. The goal is to reduce levels of male hormones,
called androgens, in the body, or to prevent them from reaching prostate cancer
cells.

The main androgens are testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Most of the
body’s androgens come from the testicles, but the adrenal glands also make a small
amount. Androgens stimulate prostate cancer cells to grow. Lowering androgen
levels or stopping them from getting into prostate cancer cells often makes prostate
cancers shrink or grow more slowly for a time. However, hormone therapy alone
does not cure prostate cancer and eventually, it stops helping.



Chemotherapy :
Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill rapidly growing cells, including cancer cells.
Chemotherapy can be administered through a vein in your arm, in pill form or both.
Chemotherapy may be a treatment option for men with prostate cancer that has
spread to distant areas of their bodies. Chemotherapy may also be an option for
cancers that don't respond to hormone therapy.
Multiple new chemotherapy drugs have recently been approved for treatment of
progressive, metastatic prostate cancer.
