Abstract

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed noncutaneous malignancy in the American male population. Since the advent of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening, an increasing number of men are diagnosed with potentially curable prostate cancer. The PSA era has led to new predicaments, however, with an increasing number of asymptomatic men with low-risk organ confined disease diagnosed with prostate cancer as a result of a PSA test leading to biopsy. In this population, often difficult choices must be made between radical prostatectomy, external beam radiation, or brachytherapy. Each of these modalities is associated with significant risk of complications for what is typically an asymptomatic and often indolent disease. In men with locally advanced disease, another dilemma arises in regard to maximizing local control in the setting of greater tumor burden and more aggressive biologic behavior.
