Prostate cancer is quite common in middle age and older men and represents the second most common malignancy diagnosed in this population. Only skin cancer is more common. Early diagnosis is important and carries an excellent prognosis. There are several management options available for localized disease and some new treatments which can be used for both aggressive and more advanced disease. When should active surveillance be used when prostate cancer has been diagnosed? How does radiation therapy compare to surgical prostatectomy regarding long-term outcomes and what are some of the newer treatment options available for advanced disease? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest, Daniel M. Frendl, M.D., Ph.D., a urologist from the Department of Urology at the Arizona campus of the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Prostate Cancer”.
