How long can you live if prostate cancer metastasizes

The metastasis of prostate cancer indicates that the prostate has already reached the fourth stage of tumor. Prostate cancer is an indolent tumor that progresses slowly and has a long course. Generally, for metastasis and older patients, surgical treatment is not recommended and endocrine therapy or radiotherapy is recommended.

Bone metastasis is the most common site of metastasis of prostate cancer. If prostate cancer has bone metastasis, it means that it is not early prostate cancer, but has entered the late stage. However, this tumor is not like other tumors with higher malignancy. If it is more sensitive to hormone therapy, after our standardized treatment, its survival time can still be very long. However, the frequent bone metastasis of prostate cancer usually mainly affects the patient's quality of life, and has no obvious impact on the patient's life. Through regular endocrine therapy and anti-bone metastasis treatment, many patients can achieve a longer survival period and a better prognosis.

Prostate cancer treatment drugs

Prostate cancer can first be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine mainly uses drugs that clear away heat, detoxify, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Western medicine treatment mainly uses drugs that clear away heat, detoxify, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. In addition to surgery, the most commonly used methods are radiotherapy and chemotherapy. A detailed examination of the cancer stage is required. If it is in the early stage, surgical treatment can be chosen. If it is in the middle and late stages, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are needed, combined with traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning. At the same time, you should actively relax and not have psychological pressure. Traditional Chinese medicine adjustment can correct the body's dysfunction, remove tumor recurrence factors, and reduce the chance of metastasis. Traditional Chinese medicine also causes relatively little damage to healthy cells, and generally will not cause new damage to physical strength due to the treatment itself.

Prostate cancer is very harmful to patients. Patients with this disease must pay attention to it and receive timely treatment. If a patient has prostate cancer, he can go to the urology department of the hospital for relevant examinations. Patients can undergo serum prostate specific antigen examination, radionuclide bone scan, and B-ultrasound examination, etc. We need to confirm the diagnosis of prostate cancer first. Common examination methods include prostate digital examination, prostate pSA examination, prostate color Doppler ultrasound, prostate magnetic resonance imaging, and even prostate puncture is needed for our final diagnosis.

Can early-stage prostate cancer be cured?

Patients with early prostate cancer who are under 70 years old can undergo radical prostatectomy, and can receive postoperative endocrine therapy or chemotherapy, with ideal results. Patients over 70 years old can undergo orchiectomy and combined with medication to prolong life and improve quality of life. In the early stages of prostate cancer, if active treatment or close clinical follow-up is taken, clinical cure can be achieved, but radical cure cannot be achieved. Stage I prostate cancer, also known as localized prostate cancer, can be cured through radical surgical resection.
