Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

A prostate cancer might be completely curable if detected in early stage. Please send across your chest X ray, CT scan abdomen, MRI scan prostate and bone scan reports. Kindly mention Attn Dr.Vivek Chail and it will be directed to me by the moderators.

Cancer is not a fearful disease if it is detected early. However treatment might be aggressive to make sure that the cancer is treated completely and dose not return. Please get evaluated at a cancer specialty hospital and discuss with the surgeon in detail regarding staging. Stage one disease is completely cured with surgery and stage 2 cancer might require chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Regular follow up is required and response to treatment has to be analyzed and chemotherapy drugs provided. Most patients will become disease free after 2 years if cancer in prostate is detected in early stage. Please do not worry.
