Researchers have found long-term evidence that actively monitoring localized prostate cancer is a safe alternative to immediate surgery or radiation.

The results, released Saturday, are encouraging for men who want to avoid treatment-related sexual and incontinence problems, said Dr. Stacy Loeb, a prostate cancer specialist at NYU Langone Health who was not involved in the research.

The study directly compared the three approaches — surgery to remove tumors, radiation treatment and monitoring. Most prostate cancer grows slowly, so it takes many years to look at the disease’s outcomes.

regarding any cancer The problem is with a needle biopsy is that the needle going into the tumor and then extracting pieces of that tumor and leaving cells along the whole path suddenly means the tumor is no longer encapsulated and little tumor cells are in the path the needle took through your body.

One uncle had his prostate removed and had no cancer the rest of his life. Another Uncle decided to try to save his sex life and had radiation treatment and died from spreading cancer. Just get your prostate taken out if you have prostate cancer.

So what if you leak a little bit and you can't get it up anymore when you're 70. Do you want the extra 20 years or not?

Just because we cannot trust the vampiric medicine industry, doesn’t mean we chuck out every single study wholesale with no regard to individual merits. You can find pearls in haystack of donkey poop. No need to throw out the baby with the bath water.

Many times just waiting for a disease to ride out is better than modern treatments. “Treatments” by these bloodsuckers doctors CAN worsen things.

Prostate cancer is the slowest growing cancer ever. You can live with it for decades. Chopping up and burning parts of your penis is risky for elderly men. Doing nothing is often the better course of action.

the prostate is a separate part of the penis. actually its an organ that traverses the male urethra in which allows it to expel seminal fluids.

the only issue with this is that if the cancer spreads to other areas then you are likely done that's why an earlier intervention is critical. remember the cancer cells are always changing and growing.

Exactly this. My father had prostate cancer and it metastasized everywhere before he decided it was a good idea to get treatment. It kills me that his doctor caught it early when treatment would have been effective, but he thought that it was not aggressive and treatment would have likely killed him before the cancer, but obviously he was oh so very wrong.

Right. Its always better to play russian roulette with surgery, radiation, chemo. Those things have no risk, right?

Yeah but my point is prostate cancer does this less than any other kind of cancer. At least most prostate cancer. More aggressive subtypes can be treated more aggressively. They can find that out on the needle biopsy. How many people have you heard of who dieed from prostate cancer? Hardly anyone.

Treatment can be more dangerous in some cases.

my ex barber got it and they had to remove his gland so last time i saw him (it was before convid)he was wearing pampers because he was leaking himself and yeah since then i'm told that he sold the barbershop and retired to his home for good. this was about 4 years ago. i dont even know if he's still alive. yes i knew someone with prostate cancer personally

I asked if you knew someone who died. Prostate cancer is very common, dying of it is rare.

Perhaps biopsies can cause cancer to metastasize. Take some ivermectin after your needle biopsy.

Doing nothing is often the better course of action.
Two spinal fusions later, can attest sometimes both options are shit.

Something to consider: does one trust their local Healthcare companies to perform such a procedure? A "fix" by a medical retard can easily cause other unforseen issues later.

For prostate cancer, I would imagine struggling or completely losing the ability to urinate would be the reason to advocate a fix. Otherwise let it ride.

Rectal cancer kills more men and women than breast and prostate cancer combined. But...MUH WAHMEN TIDDIES!

Look, tiddies are precious to me, but still. Thing is, wearing a pink ribbon is one thing, wearing a brown one is another.
