Radiation therapy, or radiotherapy, uses various forms of radiation to safely and effectively treat prostate cancer. It works by damaging the genetic material within the prostate cancer cells and limiting their ability to successfully reproduce. When these damaged cancer cells die, the body naturally eliminates them.
Standard treatment of stage I prostate cancer may include the following: 1  Watchful waiting. 2  Active surveillance. If the cancer begins to grow, hormone therapy may be given. 3  Radical prostatectomy, usually with pelvic lymphadenectomy. Radiation therapy may be given after surgery. 4  External radiation therapy.
