Treatments for prostate cancer?
As Sdresh said for ''Is there a treatment for Prostate Cancer? ''If the cancer is in its early stages and is still contained within the prostate, radiation "seeds" can be implanted or the prostate can be removed by surgery. If the cancer has extended outside the prostate, there is less chance of eradicating it. I don't know of any natural cure although saw palmetto is said to help maintain a healthy prostate. My recommendation - please see your urologist and make plans for taking care of it.Cryoablation (also known as cryotherapy or cryosurgery) is a minimally invasive procedure of freezing the prostate tumor while reducing damage to surrounding tissues.
