Can the prostate be too big to remove?

Community Question: Has anyone heard of the prostate being so big that it can't safely be removed surgically?

  1. Yes that my life radiation

    1. JoeMurphy, Sorry to hear of the difficulty to remove your prostate and that your life is radiation. Thanks for weighing in. This is helpful to the community member who asked. -Sarah (ProstateCancer.net Team Member)

  2. We shared this Q&A on Facebook and got a helpful answer from Vicky: "Yes, because then you're trying to work around other bones and such, which may get in the way."

    Thanks for chiming in with your experience!
