How Can Cancer Be Treated?
Yes- I have just completed my 3rd biopsy and I was doing the active surveillance I had a score of 3+3 +6 Gleason in July of 2016 and now I have a 4+3= 7 Gleason- I only have cancer cells in 3 of the 12 needle- my question is when should I start any treatment- I have been reading so much information on treatments and the side effects for all treatments are not good. I do not have any issues other than over active bladder and the Flomax really helps. My concern is when and if I should start treatment- I am really leaning toward the radiation. What advice do you have

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is better to go for surgery at the earliest. If the surgery is delayed it will lead to spread to distant sites and can result in unwanted complications.
You can consult a urologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
