Overview

Prostate cancer – one of the most common malignant tumours and cause of death in men – represents very significant medical but also social and economic problem. Diagnostics and ensuing treatment (both curative treatment and treatment of advanced stages, including associated complications) is a very complex process, not only for patients (because early detection of prostate cancer affects large numbers of men) but also for healthcare systems, because continuously increasing incidence and prevalence have significant organizational, HR and last but not at least economic demands. Owing to the heterogeneous nature of prostate cancer the optimal therapy is not clear. But we can try to determine the best treatment in an individual patient and assess if it is feasible and justified considering the individual prostate cancer stage. The author focuses on higher stage prostate cancer and higher risk groups and evaluates the feasibility and results of individual treatment options – radical surgery and radiotherapy.

Key words:
prostate cancer, radical prostatectomy, radiotherapy
