Cancer spreading just outside the capsule of the gland or into the seminal vesicles with otherwise clear scans is termed locally advanced. Modern radiation can effectively control locally advanced cancer when the cancer is confined to the region immediately surrounding the prostate. However, since microscopic metastases may be present, radiation to the pelvic lymph nodes should be discussed. When pelvic radiation is administered, testosterone inactivation pharmaceuticals (TIP) should be added.
