"Controversy Surrounding Defense Secretary Austin's Prostate Cancer Treatment"
TL;DR Summary
The Defense Secretary's prostate cancer surgery was described as an "elective medical procedure," but complications led to his hospitalization. Prostate cancer surgery is considered elective because it can be scheduled in advance, not because it's optional. Active surveillance and watchful waiting are options for early-stage prostate cancer, and surgery is generally safe, with rare complications.
