Low-grade prostate cancer do not immediately require treatment. Active surveillance and watchful waiting are done to cancers that grow slowly and for managing the symptoms.
However, high-grade prostate cancers are treated with various procedures to eliminate cancer cells, remove prostate gland or tissues, and inhibit the production of hormones.
