Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer among men. Although there are various therapeutic options available for the management of prostate cancer, according to a recent study more number of men are choosing to delay treatment after diagnosis. One of the major reasons for the decline of men seeking definitive treatment is to avoid the side effects of treatment, including erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence.
Watchful waiting or active surveillance for the prostate cancer is recommended in some men especially those who are older or have other comorbid conditions. Source: Everyday Health
