Active surveillance (to monitor and watch for symptoms or changes in the cancer, treating only when it becomes necessary)
No treatment
Large or fast-growing cancer, confined to prostate
Curative treatment
Cancer spread to areas outside the prostate, but not to distant areas
Radiation therapy
Widespread cancer
Palliative treatment (aimed at slowing progression and relieving symptoms and that may prolong life but will not cure the cancer)
