3. Lycopene is a natural treatment used during the early stages of prostate cancer.

4. Garlic is another home remedy used as natural treatments.

5. Soy is another home remedy used during the early stages of prostate cancer.

6. Cryotherapy is a medical treatment using ice packs to freeze the cancer.

7. Prescription alpha-blockers: These are used to relieve the soft muscle areas surrounding the bladder and prostrate which helps with urinary flow.

8. Antiandrogen is a drug used to block the activity of testosterone and androgens from the adrenal glands.

9. Prostatic stents help with urinary flow for patients who suffer from swollen prostrate glands. This procedure is not for everyone. Removal of the stint is more difficult and painful than the placement of the stent, it is reported that one out three patients have the stent removed because it is painful and can cause habitual urination.

10. (EBRT) External beam radiation therapy is a common treatment with the use of a machine outside the body.

11. Brachytherapy AKA internal beam therapy is the implantation of small radioactive pellets a time-release treatment.

12. (HDR) High-Dose Rate Brachytherapy uses seeds that are non-permanent with a higher dosage which are implanted for a short period making them less likely to travel through the body.

13. Orchiectomy surgically removing the testicles.

14. Surgical castration known as a radical prostectomy is used in more advanced cases.
