Should men be treated with prostate cancer at the age of 79

should men be treated with prostate cancer at the age of 79?
I was told by a friend that his Dr. would not check him for prostate cancer because he was 79. He said it would not matter because the cancer would take 15 yrs before it became life threatening and that radiation and chemo is more damaging to the body.

No. Why do you randomly keep your sentences going on different lines like this? It kinda bugs me. So stop. Now.

His doctor is a quack. go see another doctor and get it treated
5 :
There is more than one form of prostate cancer, and several different treatment options. If your friend has an aggressive form of cancer, he does indeed need treatment. It seems to me that treating the cancer should be a decision made by your friend. If it were me, I would seek out a second opinion. All the best.
