What are the treatments for advanced prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is a malignant proliferation disease that occurs in prostate epithelial cells. This disease is most common in elderly men, and about 80% of patients are over 65 years old. In the early stages of the disease, the symptoms are not obvious, so when the symptoms are discovered, it is usually in the late stage. What are the treatments for advanced prostate cancer?

1. Traditional prostatectomy

Patients with advanced prostate cancer can be treated with traditional prostatectomy, which requires a 20-centimeter vertical incision below the navel to perform targeted prostatectomy. The operation is relatively simple, but the risk is relatively high, so before undergoing this operation, you must carefully understand the pros and cons.

2. Laparoscopic prostatectomy

Laparoscopic prostatectomy requires several small incisions in the abdomen, and then the surgical tools and cameras are inserted through the incisions. Then, under the monitoring of the camera, the prostate is removed through external guidance. This type of surgery is less invasive, the recovery speed after surgery is faster, and the risk of complications is also lower.

3. Orchiectomy

Orchiectomy is one of the most commonly used hormone therapies. The effect of this method is very significant, and there are few side effects. During the entire treatment process, no other auxiliary drugs are needed. However, the long-term efficacy of this treatment depends on the dependence of cancer cells on androgens. Generally, the stronger the dependence, the better the inhibitory effect on cancer cells after orchiectomy.
