Best Answer

The treatment for prostate cancer or an enlarged prostate depends on the stage of the cancer or issues with BPH.

Some surgeons will recommend removing the prostate and others experienced in more advanced treatments can use robotic surgery to remove the cancer and possibly keeping the prostate intact.

A urologist experienced in dealing with prostate cancer and treating enlarged prostate would be able to give you more information and options available.
