What are the main methods to cure prostate cancer?

The treatment of prostate cancer is generally based on surgery, radiotherapy and other methods. At present, if this disease can be treated early, the cure rate is relatively high, but there is no doubt that this disease poses a great threat to the patient's body. So, what are the main methods to cure prostate cancer?

1. Resection: Surgical resection is currently the most commonly used curative treatment for prostate cancer. It is called radical prostatectomy, which completely removes the prostate and tumor. The appropriate surgical method is selected based on the patient's body shape and the doctor's technical expertise.

2. Radiotherapy: Radioactive particle implantation therapy, which is to implant radioactive particles into the prostate through the skin. This method of treating prostate cancer is to kill prostate cancer through close-range radiation. Because the damage is small and usually no other treatment assistance is required, it is also one of the curative treatments for prostate cancer.

3. External beam radiotherapy: External beam conformal radiotherapy is a new method of applying external beam radiotherapy to prostate cancer. By increasing the maximum radiation dose to the prostate and reducing the radiation dose to tissues near the prostate, it can reduce the adverse reactions of traditional external beam radiotherapy and improve the treatment effect.

4. Cryotherapy: Cryotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment method. Under ultrasound guidance, a probe is inserted into the prostate through the skin, and liquid nitrogen is then injected into the probe to freeze and kill tumor cells. Currently, cryotherapy is often used as a second-line treatment for prostate cancer patients who have failed external radiation therapy.

5. Dialectical treatment of medicine: From the perspective of the patient's constitution, the same cancer has different manifestations, different conditions, and different constitutions. Prostate cancer is mostly caused by dampness, heat, blood stasis, and qi deficiency. Therefore, treatment should be based on dialectical treatment. For patients with kidney deficiency and internal toxic heat, it is necessary to replenish qi and kidney, and remove turbidity and blood stasis; for patients with weak kidney qi and internal dampness and heat, it is necessary to replenish kidney and qi, and remove dampness and heat; for patients with deficiency of vital energy and internal stasis and toxicity, it is necessary to strengthen the body to fight cancer, and remove toxins and remove blood stasis; for patients with a long course of disease and deficiency of both qi and yin, it is necessary to replenish qi and blood, and strengthen the body to fight cancer.

What are the main methods to cure prostate cancer? In most cases, the treatment of prostate cancer is based on comprehensive treatment. Of course, we should also pay attention to postoperative care, which is very critical. In addition, it is also recommended that patients with prostate cancer pay attention to physical conditioning, which can reduce the chance of recurrence of prostate cancer.

Warm reminder: The above are some of our common methods for treating prostate cancer. Due to different causes of individual diseases, the treatment methods are different. What kind of method is selected can have a good effect in the subsequent treatment. For your health, please go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. I wish you a speedy recovery!
