What Are The Treatment Options For Prostate Cancer In Seminal Vesicle?
My dad is a healthy, 78-year old with prostate cancer . . . a Gleason score of 4+3 and a PSA of 1.1. Cancer was found in the seminal vesicle. Tests are still being done to determine extent of the cancer. Based on this, what would recommended treatment options be?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your father, look the first line of treatment is chemotherapy, and the second would be surgical intervention or both together, but looking to the history of your father I think chemotherapy would help him lot and he would not be needed surgery, hope this information helps you, take care of your father and have nice day.
