Prostate Cancer Treatment and Survival Older men with non-aggressive prostate cancer may fare just as well over the long-term without aggressive treatment as with it. snip The men all had cancer that had not spread beyond the prostate gland.

Other, more aggressive treatments for prostate cancer include surgery and radiation, but these therapies carry serious side effects such as impotence or incontinence. snip http://www.intelihealth.com/IH/ihtIH/WSIHW000/333/8988/418700.html#Low-F at_Diets_and_Cholesterol Kathy Meade Arlington Educational Consulting http://www.vapcacoalition.org/ phone fax When you're through changing, you're through.
