Depends on the cancer and the patient. Some patients require both chemo and radiation. They have been having good results with radiation treatment for prostate cancer.
The American Cancer Society can provide current info on treatment options.

Radiation for prostate cancer is a common treatment. Your grandfather may have gotten shots of anti-androgens or female hormones, being too old for more aggressive treatments. Different treatments for different patients, at different ages.
