my dad was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. What are the survival rates? I've been hearing like 97% if it's caught early. is that true?

yeah, if you catch it early and have surgery to remove it, recovery is quite common. prostate cancer is a very treatable cancer

Yes. In much older men, it's usually something else that kills them as prostate cancer is very slow growing.

Prostate cancer is the number cancer with the highest survival rate. My grandfather had it 20 years ago, he died of old age. My father-in law was diagnosed in November and went for the seed implantation and is doing great today - no cancer.Just get to the doctor to see the course of treatment.Good Luck :-)
