Do I need to continue other treatments after prostate cancer surgery?

Whether other treatments are needed after prostate cancer surgery needs to be judged based on the treatment situation. If surgery is performed in the early stages of the disease, other treatments may not be needed after surgery. However, if surgery is performed in the middle or late stages of the disease, chemotherapy or radiotherapy may be needed after surgery.

Prostate cancer is a common malignant tumor disease in clinical practice. The cause of this disease may be related to genetic factors. If there is a prostate cancer patient in the family, it will increase the chance of the disease. In addition, the cause of this disease may also be related to age factors. The older you are, the greater the risk of disease. If it is discovered in the early stages of the disease and can be treated through surgical methods such as bilateral orchiectomy and radical prostatectomy, the lesion can be completely removed after the operation, and usually no special treatment is required.

If surgery is performed in the late stage of the disease, the lesion may not be completely removed after treatment. In order to prevent recurrence or metastasis of the disease, chemotherapy can be used if the physical condition permits. Common chemotherapy drugs include paclitaxel injection, carboplatin injection, cisplatin injection, etc. If obvious side effects occur and chemotherapy cannot be tolerated, radiotherapy can be used to use rays to kill the remaining cancer cells in the body and achieve the treatment effect.

While cooperating with the doctor's treatment, you also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood, avoid excessive tension, and pay attention to rest.
