Prostate Cancer in Male Seniors, Part 2: Treatment
This article (part 2 of 2) focuses on the treatment of prostate cancer in seniors. Part 1 provided an overview of prostate cancer epidemiology, pathology, and screening in senior patients.
There have been no specific practice guidelines for managing prostate cancer in older adults, and the current management of older patients with prostate cancer is often suboptimal. Recently, the International Society of Geriatric Oncology assembled a multidisciplinary prostate cancer working group, which has begun offering guidelines on evidence-based treatments of prostate cancer in the geriatric population.
