You might want to know how prostate cancer will affect you, and whether you are likely to survive or die from prostate cancer. But not all men will want to know this. Show
No one can tell you exactly what will happen to you. But your doctor or nurse might be able to give you an idea based on the outcomes of other men with similar cancer and treatments to you. This is sometimes called your outlook, prognosis, or life expectancy. Download or order booklet What can affect my outlook?No one can tell you exactly what will happen. How prostate cancer affects you will depend on many things.
Outlook for men with localised prostate cancerMost localised prostate cancer is slow-growing and may not need treatment or shorten a man’s life. For many men who have treatment for localised prostate cancer, the treatment will get rid of the cancer. For others, treatment may be less successful and the cancer may come back. If this happens, you might need further treatment. Outlook for locally advanced prostate cancerMany men with locally advanced prostate cancer have treatment that aims to get rid of their cancer. For some men, this treatment can be very successful and they may live for many years without their cancer coming back or causing them any problems. For others, treatment may be less successful and the cancer may come back. If this happens, you might need further treatment. Read more about the risk of your cancer coming back. Some men with locally advanced prostate cancer will have treatment that aims to help keep their cancer under control rather than get rid of it completely. For example, if you have hormone therapy on its own, it can help to keep the cancer under control, usually for several years. And there are other treatments available if your hormone therapy stops working. Outlook for men with advanced prostate cancerWhile it isn’t possible to cure advanced prostate cancer, treatments can help keep it under control, often for several years. Treatments will also help manage any symptoms, such as pain. Some men may not respond well to one treatment, but may respond better to another. And when your first treatment stops working, there are other treatments available to help keep the cancer under control for longer. Survival statisticsFor more information about the outlook for men with prostate cancer, visit the Cancer Research UK website. The figures they provide are a general guide and they cannot tell you exactly what will happen to you. Speak to your doctor or nurse about your own situation.
