Diagnostic criteria for prostate cancer typically involve digital rectal exams, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests, and biopsies. Treatment options depend on various factors such as the patient's age, overall health, and tumor stage. Active surveillance, watchful waiting, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, cryotherapy, and surgery (radical prostatectomy) are common treatment approaches. The choice of treatment varies based on the individual patient's needs.
