Hello. I'm looking at varius treatmnt programs for prostae cancer. I'm leaning toward proton but I wonder has anyone had the MARS treatment? Thanks.

Treatment for prostate cancer is not a one size fits all solution. What’s your situation?
First time prostate cancer patient?
What is your Gleason score?
Did you have genetic testing?
Did they stage your cancer and what stage are you?
How old are you?
Do you have any comorbidities such as heart disease, diabetes, COPD?
Are you trying to preserve sexual function?
Are you considering treatment at a national cancer Institute center of excellence?
Have you had an MRI?
What kind of biopsy did you have? 12 core random? MRI guided?
