Abstract: A patient who has been diagnosed with prostate cancer must make a difficult treatment decision. The available alternatives have varying cure rates and probabilities of side effects over a period of many years. This paper describes a well-informed, objective, and personalized model for comparing treatments to help a patient make the best treatment decision.
