In this episode, we break down what T4 prostate cancer staging means and why it matters for patients and families.

Understanding this stage helps guide treatment choices and set realistic expectations.
You’ll learn:
- What does T4 prostate cancer mean in the TNM staging system
- How doctors diagnose T4 prostate cancer with PSA tests, imaging, and biopsies
- Why Gleason score, grade groups, and PSA levels shape treatment decisions
- Key treatment options, including radiation therapy, hormone therapy, and combination approaches
- How care teams monitor disease progression with scans and regular PSA checks
- What to expect after diagnosis, including personalized treatment planning and quality-of-life management
