And what about for longer periods? Also, what percentage of men become impotent, incontinent, or otherwise impaired? Do younger men (under 45) have different risk rates or different prognoses? And what's treatment like? What kind of support is most helpful? I have a friend who may have it. :(

Prostate Cancer, is typically one of the slower growing cancers. I've known older men, who have had the cancer for more than ten years. The survival rate for Prostate Cancer depends on several things: 1) Getting treatment for it? ie. medication, surgery etc. 2) Age of the man 3) Other health issues. Because Prostate Cancer IS a slower growing cancer, younger males who can be diagnosed much earlier, have a much better prognosis for treatment and cure. The Screening and treatment of all cancers has improved over the past ten years, so that we a re catching and treating cancer so much earlier than we ever did before. If your friend has the earlier stage (stage 1 or 2) of the cancer, his prognosis with treatment is pretty good. Included below is a link to the prostate cancer foundation. you should be research and find answers most, or all of your questions there. Much luck to you, and to your friend.
