| | Prostate cancer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Prostate cancer can be treated with surgery, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, occasionally chemotherapy, or some combination of these. | | | Prostate cancer may also cause problems with sexual function, such as difficulty achieving erection or painful ejaculation. | | | Surgical removal of the prostate, or prostatectomy, is a common treatment either for early stage prostate cancer, or for cancer which has failed to respond to radiation therapy. |

| | Prostate Cancer - CyberKnife Stereotactic Radiosurgery System |
| | While many areas within the field of prostate cancer remain controversial and several questions are still unanswered, standard therapies such as surgery or radiation therapy for localized disease are the benchmark against which all other novel treatment modalities must be compared to. | | | The potential side effects of CyberKnife radiosurgery for prostate cancer are similar to those experienced with standard courses of radiation therapy using conventional techniques. | | | This unique biologic response to radiation for prostate cancer has only recently been understood and has led to the conclusion that hypofractionated radiotherapy would be a more effective way to deliver radiation. |

| | MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Prostate cancer |
| | In the early stages, surgical removal of the prostate (prostatectomy) and radiation therapy may be used to eradicate the tumor. | | | The advantage of this form of radiation therapy is that the radiation is directed at the prostate with less damage to the surrounding tissues. | | | Radiation therapy is used primarily to treat prostate cancers classified as stages A, B, or C. Whether radiation is as good as prostate removal is a debatable topic, and the decision about which to choose can be difficult. |

| | While there is debate over whether prostate screening should be done, what techniques could be used and what treatments work best, it does seem clear that all men over the age of 50 (and therefore at risk of prostate cancer) should have a periodic physical examination. | | | The incidence of prostate cancer increases with age. | | | You should promptly seek professional medical care if you have any concern about your health, and you should always consult your physician before starting a fitness regimen. |

| | Nerves that help control a man's ability to have an erection may be removed or damaged during surgery because they are right next to the prostate and the cancer may have spread to them. | | | Both surgery and radiation may cause impotence, which means not being able to have an erection. | | | Many times a special form of surgery, called nerve-sparing surgery, can be used to try to avoid damaging the nerves. |
