The highest rate of survival comes with stage 1 cancers

Currently about 50 percent of men diagnosed will need chemotherapy which again has a very good survival rate even in stage 2 and above. It can of course take longer to be placed in remission because of treatments but the survival rate is still very high at 95 percent.

Your oncologist depending on stage of cancer will want to see you for a routine check up for possibly ten years after diagnosis,
