Prostate cancer often grows slowly to start with and may never cause any problems. But some men have prostate cancer that is more likely to spread. These prostate cancer cells, if left untreated, may spread from the prostate and invade distant parts of the body, particularly the lymph nodes and bones, producing secondary tumors in a process known as metastasis. Treating prostate cancer Treatment options are many and varied. Testing still can’t answer lots of key questions about disease aggression, prognosis and progression. If you have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, it's important to keep in mind that many prostate cancers are slow growing and may not need surgery or other radical treatment. Treatment options include: - Active Surveillance - Prostatectomy - Radiotherapy - Hormone Therapy - Chemotherapy Choosing a treatment for prostate cancer Aim to be ok with the treatment decision you make, take risks and benefits into consideration. Learn what you can, make use of the quality services and resources available. When making treatment decisions the following is recommended: - Make a decision after a treatment recommendation from a multi-disciplinary meeting. This meeting would ideally consist of input from the following specialists: urologists, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, and radiologist - Seek a second opinion for a recommended treatment option that is right for you, from both a urologist as well as a radiation oncologist --- [![New Call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/383975/00ca31ab-c428-4e7c-b496-e2a751a1e840.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/383975/00ca31ab-c428-4e7c-b496-e2a751a1e840) Topics: [Men's Health](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/mens-health) - [Transitioning to DPC](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/en/blog-transition) - [Health](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog) ### Subscribe to Blog ### Posts by Topic - [Diet (51)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/diet) - [Healthy Eating (46)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/healthy-eating) - [Concierge Medicine (43)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/concierge-medicine) - [Recent Research (41)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/recent-research) - [Nutrition (38)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/nutrition) - [Direct Primary Care (37)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/direct-primary-care) - [Exercise (32)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/exercise) - [Health (30)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/health) - [Weight Loss (27)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/weight-loss) - [Healthcare Today (26)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/healthcare-today) - [Primary Care Today (25)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/primary-care-today) - [Wellness (25)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/wellness) - [Staying Healthy (22)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/staying-healthy) - [Healthy Mind (20)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/healthy-mind) - [Cancer (19)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/cancer) - [Personal Wellness Plan (18)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/personal-wellness-plan) - [Female Health (16)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/female-health) - [Breast cancer (15)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/breast-cancer) - [Physician Shortage (15)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/physician-shortage) - [Aging (14)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/aging) - [Executive Health (13)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/executive-health) - [Heart Health (12)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/heart-health) - [flu (12)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/flu) - [prevention (12)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/prevention) - [Diabetes (11)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/diabetes) - [Stress Management (11)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/stress-management) - [brain health (9)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/brain-health) - [Alzheimer's (7)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/alzheimers) - [Men's Health (7)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/mens-health) - [Doctor's Appointments (6)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/doctors-appointments) - [Elder Care (6)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/elder-care) - [Healthcare (6)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/healthcare) - [philadelphia (6)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/philadelphia) - [Diabetes Management (5)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/diabetes-management) - [Dr. Daphne Goldberg (5)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/dr-daphne-goldberg) - [Family Medicine (5)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/family-medicine) - [Concierge Primary Care Physicians (4)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/concierge-primary-care-physicians) - [Dr. David Perkins (4)](https://wellness.totalaccessmedical.com/blog/topic/dr-david-perkins) - [Dr. Teresa A.
