Recent publications undergoing surgery for clinically localized prostate cancer may have a better survival compared to those electing radiation or observation.
Those with locally advanced cancer.i.e. when cancer has spread locally to the organs around the prostate are better treated with radiation therapy.
Those patients with cancer that has metastasized i.e spread to distant organs are treated with hormonal therapy.

Follow-up with a urologist is essential
Let's be factual DOC!!!!! What's wrong with you? It all depends on WHO is delivering the procedure! A "radical" is exactly that and I would never let anyone cut out my prostate! Just ask NY Yankee Manager Joe Torre that! He had surgery and upon sending the specimen to the pathology lab, they learned he had positive margins and therefore required radiation! Not to mention the incontinence and impotence rates associated!
I would elect prostate brachytherapy with a stranded technology! I'd also reccomend a premier Radiation Oncologist and hospital! (ie. Mt. Sinai of New York City and Dr.'s Cesserati or Stock) Where do you live?
Providing of course he's an ideal candidate for treatment! Active surveilance never hurt anyone as MOST men die with prostate cancer and RARELY from it!
Hope this helps!
