Gleasons 4 is low risk
the patient’s overall life expectancy (as determined by age and comorbidities) and overall health status determines which of the following treatment options is suitable.
Standard treatments for clinically localized prostate cancer include:
Active surveillance
Watchful waiting
Radical prostatectomy
Radiation therapy
Hormone therapy
For further clarification meet your oncologist.
And yes it can be cured.
