Your brother is suffering from stage 4 prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer that has spread to distant organs and bones is treatable, but not curable with current standard therapies. Hormone therapy has been the standard treatment of metastatic prostate cancer for many years. Metastatic prostate cancer usually can be controlled with hormone therapy for a period of time, often several years. Advances in chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and hormone therapy have expanded the treatment options available for patients with advanced prostate cancer in recent years.
