The optimal treatment strategy for men with prostate cancer has evolved dramatically, with a growing acceptance of multimodal approaches that include surgery, hormonal therapy, and radiotherapy for patients with high-risk prostate cancer, according to Matthew Cooperberg, MD. Furthermore, in the low-risk population, active surveillance is now being utilized more appropriately and effectively.
In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Cooperberg, genitourinary cancer specialist, University of California San Francisco (UCSF), discussed the varying management techniques for both low- and high-risk prostate cancers, including radiation therapy, surgery, hormonal therapy, and active surveillance.
