localized and advanced prostate cancer

prostate cancer is often described based on whether it is confined to the prostate or it has spread outside the prostate.

  • localized prostate cancer is prostate cancer that has not spread outside the prostate.
  • advanced prostate cancer is prostate cancer that has spread outside the prostate. it includes:
    • regional or locally advanced prostate cancer. this is cancer that has spread beyond the prostate but only to the nearby tissues.
    • metastatic prostate cancer. this is cancer that has spread beyond the prostate to other places in the body, such as the bones, liver, or lungs.
