Dr. Matthew Cooperberg on Surgery for Aggressive Prostate Cancer
Cooperberg says a growing body of evidence dictates that surgery in prostate cancer may be a more effective local therapy than radiation alone.
Matthew Cooperberg, MD, genitourinary cancer specialist, University of California San Francisco, discusses the rise in aggressive management of men with high-risk prostate cancer. Cooperberg says the proportion of men who are receiving hormonal therapy alone had been rising consistently over the course of a 15 year period, up until 2010, to about 50%. Since then, Cooperberg says that number has dropped to about half of what it was, or 25%, which is attributed to more aggressive treatment.
