Indications for prostate cancer surgery and chemotherapy

Prostate cancer is extremely harmful to men. How to treat prostate cancer has become the most concerned issue today as the incidence rate is increasing.

Prostate cancer surgery is currently the best clinical method for treating prostate cancer, but not every prostate cancer patient can choose this treatment method. It depends on the patient's actual condition.

So who is suitable for surgical treatment? Generally speaking, the surgical indications for prostate cancer mainly include the following:

1. Highly malignant prostate cancer.

2. Rectal examination shows that the mass in the prostate is confined to the prostate, and the tumor has not infiltrated the rectal mucosa and can be moved.

3. Those without metastatic symptoms.

4. The patient is in good general condition and is able to undergo surgery.

Chemotherapy can also be used for patients with postoperative and advanced prostate cancer. However, it should be noted that it is impossible to achieve satisfactory results with chemical drugs alone in the treatment of prostate cancer, and there are many toxic reactions. It is generally used as an adjuvant treatment after surgery to prolong the patient's survival. Chemotherapy is suitable for patients with advanced metastatic prostate cancer who have failed endocrine therapy or radiotherapy. It is also suitable for patients whose tumors have spread outside the prostate capsule and metastasized to the pelvic lymph nodes, and patients who have failed endocrine therapy and radiotherapy. Whether it is surgery or chemotherapy, it is harmful to the body. To avoid these pains, early prevention, early examination, and early treatment are still necessary.
