Is Surgery Recommended For Prostate Cancer At This Time?
I am 52 years old and was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in 2013. At the time we took the watchful waiting path. The results of a recent biopsy (6/7/16) did not look promising: 9 of 12 cores have cancer ranging from 45% to 90% with a Gleason score of 7. Is surgery recommended at this time? Or radiation? Or continue watchful waiting?

Hello,
At this time, either surgery, if the disease is well localized or radiation therapy can be done. Results of both are equally good.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
