How long can a prostate cancer patient live? I believe everyone knows that many cancers may metastasize, which can put life at risk. Bone metastasis of prostate cancer is more common. Let me introduce how long can a prostate cancer patient live?

Bone metastasis of prostate cancer can be treated with radiotherapy, and the bone pain symptoms of most patients can be relieved.

Prostate cancer refers to an epithelial malignant tumor that occurs in the prostate gland. Prostate cancer can invade the bladder, seminal vesicle, and vascular nerve bundles, causing hematuria, hematospermia, and impotence. Pelvic lymph node metastasis can cause edema of both lower limbs. Prostate cancer is prone to bone metastasis, causing bone pain or pathological fractures and paraplegia.

Bone metastasis of prostate cancer can be treated with radionuclides, mainly whole-body radiotherapy with radionuclides 32P and 89Sr. Radiotherapy can relieve bone pain symptoms in most patients. A meta-analysis of the results of multiple prospective studies showed that the overall response rate of various radiotherapy regimens is 65% to 100%, but the pain completely disappears in about 50% of patients. Most patients with advanced prostate cancer can relieve their condition, prolong their lifespan, and improve their quality of life through endocrine therapy. Endocrine therapy is more effective when combined with anti-androgen therapy.

Facing the pain caused by prostate cancer bone metastasis, many patients will worry that they will not live long, and are more concerned about how long they can live. First of all, how long a prostate cancer patient can live depends mainly on the treatment method and the patient's physical fitness. Patients should maintain a good attitude. Then, according to their own condition, a combined treatment model can be adopted. For many early-stage cancer patients, it can have a significant therapeutic effect, and patients in the middle and late stages can also prolong their life span.
