Prostate cancer survival
Data obtained from Cancer Research UK, between 2013 to 2017, demonstrates that 78 percent of prostate cancer patients survive for 10 years or more past their diagnosis.
In the past 40 years, prostate cancer survival in the UK has tripled thanks to early detection and better treatment options.
Treatment options, aside from watchful waiting, might include surgery, hormone therapy, or radiotherapy.
Watchful waiting
Some prostate cancers are slow growing, meaning the tumour may not cause you any issues.
