Therefore, everyone should know more about the treatment of prostate cancer so that they can have more choices. Let's take a look at the specific measures for the treatment of prostate cancer.

Treatments for prostate cancer include:

1. Chemotherapy in the treatment of prostate cancer The role of chemotherapy is as an adjuvant treatment for advanced prostate cancer. It is mainly used for patients whose local tumors have been eliminated after surgical treatment or radiotherapy. Chemotherapy drugs are used to eliminate potential small lesions that are currently undetectable.

2. Radiotherapy Radiotherapy is a very effective treatment for prostate cancer. Radiotherapy can often significantly reduce prostate tumors. It is mainly used for patients who are difficult to remove surgically or cannot be removed but have no distant metastasis. Radiotherapy is divided into internal radiation therapy, external radiation therapy and palliative radiation therapy, among which the most commonly used is external radiation therapy.

3. Endocrine therapy: Prostate cancer is typically hormone-dependent. Clinically, endocrine therapy can significantly alleviate prostate lesions and symptoms, but has no significant effect on the patient's survival. This is also one of the treatments for prostate cancer.

Please choose the appropriate prostate cancer treatment according to your different conditions, and you will be able to recover better. So if you want the patient to be cured as soon as possible, please refer to the above prostate cancer treatment measures. Finally, I wish all patients can fight the disease to the end.
