Swiss study shows survival advantage for surgery over radiation therapy for prostate cancer

Prostate Cancer: Surgery Best Option?

Men who choose surgery for early prostate cancer are more likely to be alive 10 years later than men who opt for other treatments, a Swiss study shows.
"If you look not only at this study but at the studies we brought out in the last three or four years, in terms of survival for 10 or even 15 years, there is a distinct advantage in patients who underwent surgery for localized prostate cancer," Tewari tells WebMD. "This has implications for patients comparing different treatment options."
