For many men, the range of treatment options for prostate cancer is bewildering. Sometimes modalities are combined to maximise the chances of cure and to minimise side effects. Men considering treatment for prostate cancer should talk about options with their families and involve loved ones in discussions with their advising doctors. Further information is available from The Cancer Council Victoria Cancer Help Line on 131120. Men should also consider second opinions from qualified experts. The Cancer Council Victoria provides sound advice in relation to this.
