Late pain in prostate cancer bone metastasis

Pain in the late stage of prostate cancer bone metastasis

Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the prostate gland. Prostate cancer is often called adenocarcinoma, and due to its pathological and physiological characteristics, prostate cancer progresses slowly. The most common metastasis is bone metastasis. When a patient is found to have prostate cancer, he must be released more quickly due to physical examination or bone metastasis, prostate cancer, etc. If a patient has a large number of bone metastases and distant metastases while using other sites, it is generally considered that the best time for surgical treatment has been missed. The most appropriate treatment method at present is the combination of overall anti-androgen therapy and bone metastasis.

Bone metastasis lesions of prostate cancer can occur in the humerus, vertebrae, ribs, skull, and long bones, most of which occur in the blood-rich bone axis. The symptoms of bone metastasis of advanced prostate cancer are aggravated, with loss of appetite, weight loss, fatigue, and anemia. Bone pain is the most common and earliest clinical manifestation of bone metastasis in prostate cancer. Continuous dull pain often affects the patient's appetite and daily rhythm, making the patient thinner and more painful. Because tumor cells "eat" the bones little by little, the metastatic bones are prone to pathological fractures.
