I want to make the right decision on treatment.
I have surfed the web and looked into many of the different treatments available for prostate cancer. Not surprisingly, most web sites are sponsored and have a vested interested in their proprietary method.
What I would like to hear about is a single source for information on treatments. And a comparative analysis, i.e. post operation complications, time period before re-occurrence, insurance acceptable procedures, length of procedure, discomfort, incontinence, ed, etc.
I would appreciate any help that directs me towards such an organization. Mahalo, Dennis
Hi Dennis (
). I can't say I'm familiar with any one site that combines all of these aspects of comparing the various methods of prostate cancer treatment. That said there has been some research into this area. Here is a page from the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute: https://www.pcori.org/research-results/2014/comparing-effects-different-prostate-cancer-treatments-quality-life-and-cancer-recurrence-nc-process and here is one from the Prostate Cancer Free Foundation: https://www.prostatecancerfree.org/compare-prostate-cancer-treatments/. I can't speak to either of these organizations and need to note that we are not medical professionals and, for your protection, cannot provide medical advice, but I hope the information is helpful. Best, Richard (Team Member) Thank you for the information. Everything helps when we are out of our elements. Dennis
