Prostate Cancer Treatment at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov Medical Center)

After prostate cancer surgery, most men will get back to normal within six to eight weeks, but you may be able to go back to work within 3-4 weeks. After any type of therapy, you should be able to return to work the next day or if there are no symptoms that interfere with your ability to work. Make sure to ask your doctor how long until you can resume your normal activities, including exercises and heavy lifting.

The 5-year survival rate is nearly 100%, but if the prostate cancer has spread to other parts of the body, the survival rate is significantly reduced to 30%. These treatments carry side effects and risks of complications, such as infection, bleeding, fatigue, hair loss, feeling sick, diarrhea, lower sex drive, erectile dysfunction, bowel problems, and inability to get a woman pregnant.
