Early life expectancy of prostate cancer

Prostate cancer has a higher chance of being cured in the early stages. Through active treatment and health management, patients can often achieve a longer survival time. Early diagnosis and early treatment are the key. Do not ignore any possible symptoms or abnormal physical examinations.

Prostate cancer is a common cancer in middle-aged and elderly men. There are often no obvious symptoms in the early stages of the disease. Sometimes it is only discovered through physical examinations or elevated levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in blood tests. Early prostate cancer usually has not yet spread, is relatively less life-threatening, and has more treatment options.

Currently, the treatments for early prostate cancer mainly include surgical resection, radiotherapy and active monitoring. If the cancer is completely removed or controlled, the chance of long-term survival is very high, and many patients can live a similar lifespan to healthy people if they actively cooperate with treatment. The specific lifespan is closely related to age, tumor grade, disease progression and other health factors.

Men over 50 should have regular physical examinations, especially those with a family history of prostate problems. If you feel abnormal symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty urinating, and increased nocturia, you should go to a specialist as soon as possible to confirm the diagnosis, check for potential risks, and find the best treatment plan. Actively managing your diet, exercising appropriately, and maintaining emotional stability can also add points to your health.
