Active surveillance:
May be recommended for selected low-risk localised cancers. Monitoring can include PSA tests, examinations, MRI and repeat biopsy. Treatment begins if the cancer shows signs of progression.
Supportive Care for Every Step of Your Prostate Cancer Treatment
From diagnosis and treatment planning to recovery and long-term follow-up, experience care that considers your strength, urinary health, sexual wellbeing, nutrition and overall quality of life.
About Prostate Cancer
A diagnosis can bring many questions at once. Let us begin with the basics.
Prostate cancer develops when abnormal cells grow in the prostate gland, located below the bladder. Most prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas arising from glandular cells. Some prostate cancers grow slowly and may never cause significant harm, while others are more aggressive and can spread to lymph nodes, bones or other organs. Many patients have no symptoms when the cancer is first detected, and it may be identified after a prostate-specific antigen, or PSA, blood test. A raised PSA does not automatically mean cancer. Further assessment may include examination, prostate MRI and biopsy. The biopsy determines the Gleason score and Grade Group, which help guide treatment planning.
Understanding Conventional Prostate Cancer Treatments
Your urologist or oncologist may have discussed surveillance, surgery, radiation, hormone therapy or systemic medicines.
Watchful waiting:
Usually involves less intensive monitoring and may be considered when curative treatment is unlikely to improve life expectancy. The focus is on controlling symptoms if they develop.
Radical prostatectomy:
Removes the prostate and seminal vesicles, with lymph-node removal in selected patients. Possible effects include urinary leakage, erectile dysfunction and fertility changes.
External radiation
therapy: May be used for localised disease, with hormone therapy for higher-risk cancers, after surgery when recurrence risk is significant, or for metastatic sites.
Brachytherapy:
Places radioactive material within or close to the prostate and may be suitable for selected localised cancers.
Hormone therapy:
Androgen deprivation therapy lowers or blocks testosterone-related signals that prostate cancer cells often use to grow.
Advanced systemic treatment:
May include androgen receptor pathway medicines, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy or radiopharmaceutical treatment depending on stage and biomarkers.
Bone-health management and treatment for urinary obstruction may also form part of care.
How Cancer Healer Therapy (CAM) Supports You
Cancer Healer Therapy (CAM) is supportive integrative care used alongside treatment prescribed by your urologist or oncologist, not instead of it.
The supportive plan may consider appetite, fatigue, sleep, emotional wellbeing, treatment-related discomfort and recovery after surgery or radiation.
Herbal medicines and supplements can interact with hormone therapy, chemotherapy, targeted medicines, immunotherapy, blood thinners and other treatments. Some may also affect liver or kidney function, bleeding risk or hormone pathways.
Support may begin before surgery, radiation, hormone therapy or systemic treatment, with attention to urinary symptoms, nutrition, muscle strength, bone health and current medicines.
Supportive care may focus on fatigue, appetite or weight changes, hot flushes, reduced strength, urinary or bowel symptoms, sexual concerns and treatment-related stress.
The urgency of treatment depends on stage, PSA, Grade Group and risk classification. Supportive care should not delay recommended investigations or treatment.
Cancer Healer Therapy does not replace active surveillance, surgery, radiation, hormone therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy or radiopharmaceutical treatment.
Types of Prostate Cancer
Most prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas arising from glandular cells of the prostate.
- Acinar adenocarcinoma: The most common type of prostate cancer.
- Ductal adenocarcinoma: A less common form that can behave more aggressively.
- Neuroendocrine and small-cell prostate cancer: Rare, aggressive cancers that can behave differently from typical prostate adenocarcinoma.
Other rare prostate cancers can also occur. Identifying the exact tumour type is important because different forms may behave differently and require different treatment approaches. The tumour type is considered alongside the PSA level, Grade Group, stage, imaging findings and other clinical factors when planning appropriate care.
Stages of Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer staging describes how far the cancer has progressed and helps guide treatment.
- Stage I: Cancer is confined to the prostate and has lower-risk features.
- Stage II: Cancer remains confined to the prostate but has higher-risk features.
- Stage III: Cancer may extend beyond the prostate or have other high-risk features, without lymph-node or distant spread.
- Stage IV: Cancer has spread to regional lymph nodes or distant sites such as bones or other organs.
Stage is considered with PSA level, Grade Group and other clinical findings when planning treatment.
Signs and Symptoms of Prostate Cancer
Early prostate cancer often causes no noticeable symptoms. Possible signs and symptoms include:
- Weak or interrupted urine flow
- Difficulty starting urination
- Frequent or urgent urination
- Frequent urination at night
- Blood in the urine or semen
- Pelvic or lower-back discomfort
Advanced disease may cause persistent bone pain, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, or weakness or numbness in the legs. Urinary symptoms are often caused by non-cancerous prostate conditions, so they do not necessarily indicate cancer. Persistent symptoms should be medically assessed.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
No. PSA can also rise because of benign enlargement, prostatitis, infection or recent prostate procedures. PSA alone cannot confirm cancer.
No. Selected low-risk cancers may be monitored through active surveillance, while higher-risk or symptomatic cancers are more likely to require treatment.
Active surveillance closely monitors potentially curable cancer and begins treatment if it progresses. Watchful waiting is generally less intensive and focuses more on symptom control.
Yes. Surgery can cause urinary leakage, while radiation may cause frequency, urgency or burning. Rehabilitation may help selected patients.
Yes. Surgery, radiation and hormone therapy can affect erections, sexual desire, ejaculation and fertility.
Yes. Bones are a common site of metastatic prostate cancer and may cause pain, fractures or spinal cord compression.
Yes. Advanced prostate cancer can often be controlled using hormone therapy, systemic medicines, chemotherapy, targeted treatments, immunotherapy or radiopharmaceuticals.
It means the cancer continues to grow despite testosterone being maintained at a very low level. Additional treatments are then used while hormone suppression usually continues.
No. Cancer Healer Therapy is supportive integrative care used alongside prescribed oncology treatment. It should not replace or delay recommended care.
Only after discussing every product with your oncologist, urologist or oncology pharmacist. Some supplements may interact with cancer medicines, affect hormone pathways or influence bleeding and liver function.
