Prostate cancer is typically treated with surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Surgery is often used to remove a diseased prostate, while the other treatments are often aimed at destroying cancer in other parts of the body. While such treatments are often effective, prostate cancer survival rates typically depend on how well the patient responds to treatment, a factor that depends, in part, on the stage of cancer in question.
