Hard to say. prostate cancer is one of the slower growing cancers, but once it metastasizes and can be found in the lymph system or other organs only an oncologist can determine mortality.
Chemotherapy, radiation or drug therapy can halt the growth of the cancer cells.

What does it mean when a cancer metastasizes?
Metastatic cancer is not a type of cancer, it is a stage of the disease, a late stage. Most cancer types can form new tumours in the body, like a weed sends its seeds in the wind to sprout into more weeds. The new tumours are called "metastases". Metastatic cancer is cancer that has already started this seeding-out process. The first place where cancer metastasizes is in the lymph nodes. Later, it can go to the liver, the lungs, the bones, in fact just about anywhere. For a person with cancer, knowing if there are metastases or not is very important because it is a sign that the cancer is aggressive. Cancer without metastases is often curable but metastatic cancer is usually not curable.
