Common treatment principles for prostate cancer

What are the common treatment principles for prostate cancer? I believe many people have this question. It is very necessary for us to understand the principles if we want to treat prostate cancer well. Let us follow the experts to learn about the treatment of prostate cancer .

(1) When prostate sarcoma is confined to the prostate capsule and has not yet spread outside, surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible, with radical cystoprostatectomy. This is one of the treatments for prostate cancer.

(2) When the tumor has only spread locally to the bladder or rectum and has not yet metastasized to distant sites, total pelvic organ resection can be used, but this approach is often ineffective and may accelerate the spread of tumor cells after extensive surgery.

(3) For patients who cannot undergo surgery, radiotherapy is only sensitive to a few lymphosarcoma and reticulum cell sarcoma, and is also somewhat helpful for leiomyosarcoma. Some people believe that radiotherapy for rhabdomyosarcoma may actually cause the tumor to develop.

(4) For children, chemotherapy is first given after a clear diagnosis, using the VAC regimen (vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide), followed by surgical resection. Most children require cystectomy and urinary diversion, but every effort should be made to preserve the rectum. In recent years, some people have suggested that children can first undergo chemotherapy, then radiotherapy, and then surgery to preserve the bladder. This is also the treatment for prostate cancer.
