Cryotherapy for prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is a common malignant tumor. It not only poses a great threat to the patient's health, but also because there is no way to cure cancer, it is impossible to be as healthy as before the disease. Therefore, it is also a great psychological damage to people. This requires patients with prostate cancer to actively cooperate with treatment and not to neglect dietary care. Prostate cancer has been relatively common in recent years, and many people have died from this terrible disease. So what about the cryotherapy method for prostate cancer?

The cryotherapy for prostate cancer is also called salvage cryotherapy. This treatment method is more suitable for patients with prostate cancer who have symptoms of local recurrence after radiotherapy and need to go to a regular hospital for treatment. After cryotherapy, the biopsy positive rate can even be as high as 37%.

Although cryotherapy for prostate cancer has certain benefits, it is not currently recommended for routine use for prostate cancer patients due to a lack of experience. It is recommended that patients with locally recurrent prostate cancer use endocrine therapy.

Patients with distant metastatic prostate cancer generally have poor physical conditions, but because of multiple metastases, their blood counts are even worse. In this case, endocrine therapy can be used. In addition, Chinese medicine can be used in combination with treatment, and comprehensive treatment has good results.

Note:

Cryotherapy for prostate cancer is not for everyone. It is recommended that patients who need surgery need to overcome postoperative nervousness. Radiotherapy is also possible, but active psychological care is needed to reduce anxiety.
