Brief analysis of the treatment method of prostate cancer: radiotherapy

With the continuous advancement of science and technology, there are still many treatments for prostate cancer . Among them, radiation therapy is a very good treatment for prostate cancer. Let's talk about radiation as a treatment for prostate cancer.

According to the latest research report, contrary to the widely accepted traditional concept, the tumor-free survival time of prostate cancer patients after radiotherapy is not affected by age, which means that age does not affect the choice of radiotherapy for prostate cancer. The use of radiation as a treatment for prostate cancer has a history of more than 60 years, mainly including the following methods: 1) external radiotherapy; 2) intratissue radiotherapy; 3) whole body radiotherapy: to a certain extent, it can relieve local pain of bone metastasis and reduce the development of lesions.

The main purpose of this treatment method for prostate cancer is to control the reproduction of cancer cells by directly killing cancer cells and increasing the level of white blood cells in the blood in a stress-sensitive manner. It is more suitable for preventing the recurrence of cancer foci after surgery or for situations where the condition deteriorates rapidly and requires emergency control. Prostate cancer patients must not think that chemotherapy is omnipotent, and some patients even become dependent on chemotherapy. The main reason is that while chemotherapy brings therapeutic effects, it also damages some normal functions of the human body, especially the inhibitory effect on bone marrow leukocyte hematopoiesis. Therefore, it is common for the condition to improve as soon as chemotherapy is started, and rebound as soon as it is stopped. Moreover, as the number of chemotherapy treatments increases, the effect gradually decreases. This is a vicious cycle of blindly relying on chemotherapy. Therefore, it is necessary to scientifically choose this treatment method for prostate cancer.
