The location and size of the tumor, as well as the Gleason Score, will help determine the stage of cancer. The stage of prostate cancer will likely impact when you need treatment and what treatments are likely to work best.
Prostate Cancer Treatment
Our prostate cancer specialists will recommend a treatment plan that matches each patient's needs based on their age, stage, Gleason score, symptoms, and overall health. Sometimes waiting is the best approach.
