Diagnostic methods for prostate cancer recurrence What to do if prostate cancer recurs

How to diagnose the recurrence of prostate cancer? The treatment of the recurrence of prostate cancer requires further consultation with doctors in large hospitals. At this time, the patient needs to cooperate with relevant examinations, not only the puncture examination of prostate cancer, but also B-ultrasound examination, MRI and other examinations are actually necessary, and blood tests are also necessary. The diagnosis of the recurrence of prostate cancer can be carried out by rectal examination, prostate-specific antigen serum determination, B-ultrasound examination, CT examination and MRI examination. The gold standard for confirming prostate cancer is prostate puncture biopsy. If the tumor tissue is taken out by puncture, the result is prostate cancer. In order to recover as soon as possible, it is recommended that patients with prostate cancer need to eat light food. Patients with prostate cancer can eat fresh vegetables and porridge. We know that porridge is a kind of food that can be directly absorbed by patients with prostate cancer, and eating some salty porridge is also necessary. They should cooperate with treatment and have regular check-ups.

When prostate cancer recurs, a one-to-one treatment method needs to be determined. If the patient is suitable for surgery, surgery is still needed. In addition, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are needed. Endocrine therapy can be done when necessary. Prostate cancer diagnosis requires pathological examination through prostate puncture biopsy. The degree of malignancy can be assessed through histological grading. The degree of malignancy of prostate cancer is divided into 2 to 10 points based on the sum of the scores of the main structural area and the secondary structural area in the prostate cancer tissue.

Regarding the diagnosis of prostate cancer recurrence, in general, clinical diagnosis of prostate cancer mainly relies on rectal examination, serum pSA, transrectal prostate ultrasound and pelvic MRI examination, and CT is less sensitive than MRI in diagnosing early prostate cancer. Radionuclide bone scan is usually performed before deciding on a treatment plan.

When confirming whether prostate cancer has recurred, it is usually possible to combine symptoms to preliminarily determine the stage of the cancer. In the late stage of prostate cancer, symptoms of prostate hypertrophy are usually present. If it is necessary to determine whether the cancer has metastasized or the metastatic lesions are to be determined, a radionuclide bone scan can be further performed.
