How to treat advanced prostate cancer? Several control methods for advanced prostate cancer are revealed

Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor of the male reproductive system. Prostate cancer is divided into early and late stages. If the patient is in the early stages of the disease, there are more treatment methods and the disease is easier to control. However, when it comes to late-stage prostate cancer, the patient is relatively painful and the treatment methods are also very limited. Specific treatment methods include the following aspects.

1. Endocrine therapy: Many patients in the late stage of prostate cancer adopt comprehensive therapy with endocrine therapy as the main method. However, after a period of endocrine therapy alone, the efficacy will decrease, and there is a possibility of persistent resistant prostate cancer. Patients are advised to use anti-androgen treatment. Chemotherapy can also be used to control the disease and improve bone metastasis symptoms.

2. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy: Radiotherapy is usually used as a palliative therapy. Chemotherapy is the main means of treating resistant prostate cancer. Patients can also be treated with targeted drugs, which is a new treatment option for advanced prostate cancer.

3. Treatment of bone metastasis: For bone metastasis of advanced prostate cancer, the main approach is to prevent and reduce the occurrence of bone-related events, while relieving bone pain symptoms, which can improve the quality of life and survival rate. Patients can use zoledronic acid to treat the disease, which can relieve bone pain and reduce the incidence of bone-related events, which can better treat advanced prostate cancer.

4. Surgical cure: If the patient's condition has not yet metastasized to distant sites, surgery can be used for treatment. However, the patient's condition should be analyzed in detail, and attention should be paid to the extent to which the disease has developed, and then a specific treatment plan should be adopted. It is recommended that patients go to a regular hospital for surgical treatment to avoid any problems during the operation that may affect the success rate of the patient's operation.

Compared with other cancers, such as liver cancer or lung cancer, prostate cancer has a relatively good prognosis. If the patient can be discovered and treated in time at the early stage of the disease, he may survive for a long time or even be cured. However, for advanced prostate cancer, the chance of cure is extremely low, but controlling the disease through the above methods can effectively prolong the patient's life.
