Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Anti-hormone treatment seems like the right way to go. Sometimes radioactive seeds are inserted in the prostate, but I am not sure your uncle qualifies for this.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
