What are the indications for surgery for prostate cancer?

The surgical indications for prostate cancer are usually a diagnosis of prostate cancer, the absence of severe cardiopulmonary disease, and the absence of distant metastasis of tumor cells.

The details are as follows:

1. Diagnosis of prostate cancer:

Prostate cancer surgery must be performed after a clear diagnosis of prostate cancer. Patients can undergo a prostate puncture biopsy under the guidance of a doctor, and after extracting prostate tissue, pathological testing is performed to determine whether it is a benign or malignant lesion.

2. No severe cardiopulmonary disease:

If you suffer from congenital heart disease, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, pulmonary tuberculosis, pulmonary embolism and other serious cardiopulmonary diseases, or even serious decline in cardiopulmonary function, surgical treatment is not recommended. You may not be able to tolerate the surgical trauma and increase the burden on your body.

3. Tumor cells have not metastasized to distant sites:

Before surgery, patients must be clear about whether the tumor cells have metastasized to distant sites. If they have already metastasized, it is impossible to completely remove the tumor through surgery alone, so surgery is not recommended.

In addition to the above evidence, there is usually no serious brain disease. If the surgical indications are met, radical prostatectomy, bilateral orchiectomy and other surgical treatments can be performed under the guidance of a doctor. Usually, you should keep your emotions stable, do not be overly anxious or fearful, and go to the hospital for regular checkups.
