According to this article, Dr. David Katz states that there may be no need for immediate treatment when prostate cancer is first diagnosed. In a study done for men with prostate cancer, disease progression only occurred in 20 percent of the men. This meant that 80% of the participating men did not show any further progression in prostate cancer levels in over 10 years. Even in skilled hands, prostate cancer treatments include various side effects. Some of these side effects include sexual disfunction, and incontinence of bladder. Instead of immediate medical action, Dr. Katz recommends that you should first try to make any lifestyle changes that could be considered unhealthy and worsen your symptoms. This information can potentially revolutionize treatments used for cancer within the medical industry.
