Suggest Ideal Treatment For Prostate Cancer With PSA Level Of 4.89
I was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. My doctor said that 2 of the 12 core samples taken in the biopsy were cancerous. I have a PSA of 4.89. I was told that the cancer was moderately aggressive, but slow growing. What would you consider to be my best options for treatment ?

hi.. there are many modalities like hormonr therapy , radiarion and chemotherapy and of course surgery.
my advise to start with non - surgical therapy modalities and have PSA level monitoring.
if PSA level comes down continue therapy ..if not change therapy or surgery advisable. post surgery PSA monitoring also required.
