Hi
Thanks for posting.
I understand your concern.

The treatment for prostate cancer has advanced a lot and we have many options like watchful waiting, surgery, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy, etc. The exact treatment depends upon the stage of the disease, PSA level, grade of the cancer, general health of the patient and many other factors. Best treatment is usually administered in multimodality clinics where doctors form all specialities sit together and decide on a treatment plan for the patient.

Hope this helps.
Please get back if you need any more clarifications
