Can prostate cancer be cured

After suffering from prostate cancer, many patients will feel pessimistic, because everyone knows that prostate cancer is a malignant tumor. The chance of cure is relatively high in the early stage of prostate cancer, but if prostate cancer enters the late stage, the difficulty of treatment will increase. Let's talk about the treatment methods for late stage prostate cancer.

Treatment of advanced prostate cancer:

1. External radiotherapy for prostate cancer. Prostate cancer patients are relatively young, and prostate cancer is a multifocal, poorly differentiated tumor. Even in the T0 stage, most of them use external irradiation. T3 stage is an indication for external irradiation.

2. Intra-tissue radiotherapy for prostate cancer can be divided into local radiocolloid infiltration and interstitial radiotherapy according to the different radiation sources and methods of use. The former is mainly suitable for patients with tumors with early infiltration of lymphatic vessels and seminal vesicles, or for infiltration radiotherapy during retropubic surgery. The latter is only suitable for patients in stages A2, B and some stages C.

3. Radionuclide treatment of bone metastasis: Whole-body radiotherapy with radionuclides 32P and 89Sr can relieve local pain of bone metastasis and slow down the development of lesions to a certain extent. Whole-body irradiation of stage C cases is also an effective radiotherapy.

4. Conservative radiotherapy for prostate cancer: For patients with advanced prostate cancer, it is not necessary to use therapeutic radiation doses that are harmful to the body. Instead, radiation doses lower than the therapeutic dose are used to relieve the obstruction caused by prostate cancer or the severe pain symptoms caused by distant bone metastasis. The method can be internal radiation or external radiation, and the effect is obvious.

The above introduces the treatment methods for late-stage prostate cancer. After suffering from prostate cancer, you must actively seek treatment and cure the disease as early as possible in the early stages of prostate cancer. When prostate cancer enters the late stage, you must also adjust your mentality and take scientific and effective treatment measures.
