Prostatectomy or Radiation?

This depends on your Gleason score. How extensive the prostate cancer is. Has it spread outside the prostate? How old you are. Is there a genetic cause of your prostate cancer, I have BRCA2, which causes mine to keep coming back. There are a few other factors, let us know Where you stand.

It’s really not possible to give opinions without more information.

I had surgery at 62 three years later it came back and I had radiation. Since then it has come back three more times and I’ve been on multiple different drugs over the 16 years. My brother got it at 77 and had five sessions of SBRT radiation and he’s been just fine for the three years since that happened.

Different results for different cases.
