Prostate cancer isn't really representative of most cancers, as far as treatment or outcome.

One of the most popular forms of "treatment" for this slow growing cancer is "watchful waiting", i.e. - doing nothing other than keeping an eye on it.

One of the least popular is surgery, since it often involves total loss of sexual ability.

Then, there's the fact that it ONLY involves men, who are the worst dealing with this cancer. Many just don't do anything about it at all.
