Surgical treatment - This involves removal of the prostate gland along with some of the surrounding tissues and some lymph nodes. This is specifically known as radical prostatectomy and it is of two types:

• Robot-assisted surgery
• Retropubic surgery

Radiation therapy - This involves the use of high-powered energy to kill the cancerous cells. The radiation therapy is usually delivered in two ways:

• External beam radiation
• Brachytherapy

Hormone therapy - This is done to inhibit the body from producing the male hormone. The male hormone, testosterone is responsible for the growth of prostate cancer cells. By restricting the supply of these male hormones can cause cancer death cells to grow slowly. Hormone therapy includes:

• Medications that stop the body to produce testosterone
• Medications that block testosterone from reaching cancer cells.
• Surgery to remove the testicles

Chemotherapy - These include drugs that help in the destruction of rapidly growing cells. The medications can be administered through a vein, oral medications or both.
