that depends on alot of technical factors

Surgery and chemo. He'll need help with the chemo. I know I had it for breast cancer. I don't know if they radiate that area or not.
4 :
radiation therapy is the best.very good prognosis for stage 1
5 :
lots of tomato ketchup and garlic if it gets to stage 2 research mistletoe which was developed by rudolph steiner 100 years ago oh .... and lots of sex (lack of it caused the thing)
6 :
In most cases, especially with a non-aggressive form of prostate cancer, the best treatment is NO TREATMENT. Most men with prostate cancer die of another disease (e.g. heart disease) before the cancer can kill them. However, if the cancer is determined to be an aggressive form, some type of therapeutic intervention is warranted. Best wishes for you father's health.

There are different options and though they all have side effects, he should look into radioactive implants. They are tiny seeds which do not harm those around him and seem to be better than the surgical resection and/ or radiation. He just needs to have a explanation of all the options and statistics. If he is older like 70 it progresses less quickly.
