Book excerpt: As you know there are many ways to treat prostate cancer; surgery, radiation therapy, brachytherapy (seeds), as well as Cryotherapy (freezing the prostate). Each for of treatment is designed to attempt to cure prostate cancer that is still 'confined to the prostate' and has not spread elsewhere. The decision as to which treatment type is best for you depends on many factors such as your personal overall health and overall life expectancy as well as the level of PSA, the digital exam findings, the gleasons score (which in my case was a favorable factor), the number of positive cores from you biopsy, and lastly your overall willingness to accept certain side effects from each of the different treatments.
