"... There are many different ways to treat prostate cancer. The prostate needs testosterone, a male hormone, to make semen. This male hormone can also make the cancer grow. You may need hormone medicine to block the testosterone. You may also need surgery or radiation. Often two or more kinds of treatment will be used together, such as medicine and radiation. You may also choose medicine and surgery to treat your cancer. "
