Although people's living standards have made a qualitative leap and medical technology has made great progress, we are often helpless when facing many malignant tumors, especially if the disease has developed to the late stage, we can no longer use active surgical treatment measures and can only take palliative treatment. For men, the most common malignant tumor is prostate cancer. When prostate cancer develops to the late stage, bone metastasis will occur. So what should we do at this time? After prostate cancer has metastasized to the bones, we can refer to radiotherapy, and the symptoms of most patients will be well relieved. How long the patient can live also depends on their treatment method and overall physical fitness. Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs mainly on the prostate tissue and can often invade the seminal vesicles, vascular nerve bundles, and cause hematuria, hematospermia, and impotence. The disease may also metastasize, the most common of which is bone metastasis, which can cause people to have fractures or paralysis. Prostate cancer bone metastasis can also be treated with radionuclide therapy, mainly whole-body radiotherapy using radionuclides 32p and 89Sr. Radiotherapy can relieve pain symptoms in most patients. Even half of the patients will have their pain completely disappear. In fact, most patients with advanced prostate cancer can effectively alleviate their condition and improve their quality of life through endocrine therapy. Many patients facing prostate cancer bone metastasis feel depressed. They are particularly worried that they can no longer survive and are also concerned about how long they can live. In fact, after prostate cancer bone metastasis occurs, as long as everyone maintains a good attitude and adopts combined treatment methods according to the condition, we can prolong survival and improve the quality of life. Now we should know what to do after prostate cancer metastasizes to the bone. After bone metastasis occurs, we must take conservative treatment measures, such as radiotherapy and radionuclide therapy. At the same time, we must have an optimistic attitude and not worry every day, which will not only cause the pain to worsen, but also shorten the survival period. |
