T3 Prostate Cancer Staging: Understanding Stage 3, Treatment Options, and Next Steps
In this episode, we break down what T3 prostate cancer staging means and how it changes your treatment options. At this stage, cancer has grown beyond the prostate gland into nearby tissues, but it has not yet spread to distant lymph nodes or organs.
You’ll learn:
- What T3 prostate cancer staging means and how it’s diagnosed
- The differences between T3a (spread into nearby tissue) and T3b (spread into the seminal vesicles)
- How doctors use PSA levels, Gleason scores, and imaging scans to guide treatment
- Why surgery, radiation, and hormone therapy are common treatment paths at this stage
- How hormone therapy helps slow tumor growth and works with radiation for stronger results
- What to expect after diagnosis, including regular monitoring and follow-up care
T3 prostate cancer is advanced but still highly treatable when managed with the right combination of therapies. Knowing what this stage means gives you the clarity to move forward with confidence.
