Hello,
Treatment of cancer depends on stage of cancer. Metastasis has to be ruled out first and then treatment decided. For rule out metastasis CT scan likes higher investigation helpful.
Prostate removal can be done by operation or other suitable method. Than if needed, chemotherapy treatment can be decided. Consult Onco-surgeon for examination and discuss your case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
