Prostate Cancer Treatment Options
At Cancer Treatment Centers of America, you will find that treatment for prostate cancer is not one dimensional. We offer a variety treatment options, including conventional, alternative, and complementary therapies, to provide our patients with what we believe is a more comprehensive and customizable treatment plan.
Conventional Treatments
Conventional prostate cancer treatment options may include, surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, biotherapy, and hormone therapy. The exact treatment option that is used will depend on a number of variables including the stage of the prostate cancer and the general health of the patient.
Surgery - For some types of cancer, surgery may be the most effective treatment available. Surgical methods may also be used to help diagnose cancer or even as a preventative measure.
Chemotherapy - Chemotherapy is a course of drugs designed to slow the growth and reproduction of the prostate cancer cells. Chemotherapy may be used alone or with other prostate cancer treatments.
Radiation Treatment for Prostate Cancer - Radiation therapy may be used as a stand alone treatment for prostate cancer, or in combination with surgery or chemotherapy. At CTCA, advanced treatment techniques such as High Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy are also implemented into treatment plans.
Biotherapy/Immunotherapy - Biotherapy works to repair, stimulate, and enhance your body's own immune system so that it can more effectively fight cancer.
Hormone Therapy - This treatment for prostate cancer is used to keep cancer cells from getting the hormones they need to grow. This treatment option may include using drugs that alter the way hormones work. Hormonal therapy is a systemic treatment like chemotherapy. This means it can affect cancer cells throughout the body.
Complementary prostate cancer treatment options may include:
- Nutritional Therapy
- Pain Management Open
- Naturopathic Medicine
- Mind Body Medicine
- Physical Therapy
- Spiritual Support
