Hello,
You are asking if radiotherapy is a standard treatment for prostate cancer. However, you don’t provide any further information such as your age or where the cancer has been found.
You can obtain further information about treatments for prostate cancer online via the National comprehensive cancer network website? Www.nccn.org. They have a published webinar for advanced prostate cancer, but a webinar for locally advanced prostate cancer is coming soon.
Prostate cancer patients are divided into groups based on their age, tumor characteristics, and expected life expectancy. The risk groups are: very low, low intermediate , high and very high. Life expectancy starts with greater than 20 years, and decreases from there.
Treatments to be considered include observation with intermittent testing (observation), surgery, hormonal manipulation, and often radiotherapy or a combination of these treatments. These are based on the patient age and tumor characteristics and whether or not it has spread and symptoms that may occur from the cancer.
It is best to discuss all of these approaches with your physician and then make an informed choice.
Good luck.
