Advanced Prostate Cancer

When prostate cancer spreads beyond the prostate or returns after treatment, it is often called advanced prostate cancer.

Archived from the 2022 edition

Overview

Prostate cancer is often grouped into four stages, with stages III and IV being more advanced prostate cancer.

When an early stage prostate cancer is found, it may be treated or placed on surveillance (watching closely). Advanced prostate cancer is not "curable," but there are many ways to treat it. Treatment can help slow advanced prostate cancer progression.
