re: OJ Simpson diagnosed with prostate cancer

I think if the cancer is still within the prostate the prostate is removed surgically or treated with radiation. Or that's how I remember it.

No! They can remove the prostate. That removes one of the valves that prevents a leaky ureter, requiring adiaper.
They can use a series of radiation terapy for several weeks to destroy the Prostate.
Or there is "Brachy Therapy". The use a needle to inject radioactive seeds into the prostate. The radiation kills the prostate, maintaining both valves that prevent a leaky ureter. They insert the needle/syringe between the anus and scrotum to inject the seeds into the prostate, as they watch the screen of a sonogram.
I had Brachy Therapy about seven years ago, successful. No leakage!
