Radiation therapy is harmful for the men with prostate cancer. This is one of the most prevalent misconceptions among men that hold them back from going for radiation therapy to treat prostate cancer.
However, various studies have evinced that radiation therapy is completely safe for men. The good thing about radiation therapy is that it is non-invasive; it helps men preserving their urinary as well as sexual function. In addition, with radiation therapy men require short period for recovery.
I think the simplest way to encourage men with prostate cancer to go for radiation therapy is by breaking away the shield of misconceptions that have obscured the advantages of this highly advanced radiation therapy.
