Prostate Cancer 4

Treatments

Hormone therapy -

The hormone testosterone causes prostate cancer to grow. Hormone injections and tablets can stop testosterone being produced or to block its effects. Hormone therapy may be used alongside other treatments (such as medicines called targeted therapies).

It can be used at all stages, including if the cancer has not spread, has not spread very far or the cancer is at an advanced stage. Hormone therapy alone does not cure prostate cancer, but it can slow it down and help with symptoms. Hormone therapy with radiotherapy aims to cure early prostate cancer.

Chemotherapy is a medicine that kills cancer cells. It’s a common treatment for advanced prostate cancer and may be used with hormone therapy and steroids. It may be used if your cancer has spread outside the prostate but not very far. It can be used on its own or combined with hormone therapy, radiotherapy or both to treat cancer that has not spread (localised).

Prostate Cancer 3

Treatments

If your prostate grows the treatments could include surgery, radiotherapy and hormone therapy. If the cancer has spread, you may need chemotherapy.

Surgery involves removing your prostate. Like any operation, it carries some risks. Some people experience:

• Peeing without meaning to
• Problems having or keeping an er****on
• Problems with or***ms, such as difficulty reaching or***ms or not ej*******ng during organism.

It also means you will not be able to have children by having s*x.

Radiotherapy uses high energy radiation to kill cancer cells. In prostate cancer it is used:

• To treat cancer that has not spread very far, or advanced prostate cancer.
• To help with symptoms or slow the cancer down if it has spread.

Prostate Cancer 2

How serious is prostate cancer?

How serious prostate cancer is depends on if it has spread to other parts of the body. In the early stages there are no signs or symptoms which makes it difficult to diagnose. This is a shame as it can be successfully treated if it is caught in the early stages.

Later signs may include back, hip or pelvis pain or difficulty maintaining an er****on. You may also have problems p*eing, but this could be signs of other prostate problems. As the cancer grows it can press on the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the p***s.

If this happens it may lead to:

• Finding it difficult to start p*eing or straining to p*e
• Having a weak flow of urine
• “Stop start” p*eing
• Needing to p*e urgently or often or both
• Feeling like you still need to p*e when you’ve just finished
• Peeing during the night.
