How long is the survival period for advanced prostate cancer

There is no clear answer to the question of how long patients with advanced prostate cancer can survive. The specific survival time is still related to the individual's pathological degree and physical condition. It should be comprehensively judged based on the size of the tumor, the metastasis, and the patient's physical condition. If a patient with prostate cancer metastasizes to the pancreatic tissue in the late stage, the malignancy will be very high. If the patient is diagnosed with advanced stage, the survival period is generally between 6 and 8 months. The specific survival time is still based on the individual. Some patients have survived for up to one year, so this is just a range.

For early-stage prostate cancer, you can choose to undergo radical retropubic prostatectomy. This treatment method is more effective and is generally only for early-stage patients. It is not recommended for late-stage treatment. It is also relatively harmful to the human body, but there are some side effects. 70% of patients may experience erectile dysfunction, and some patients may experience symptoms of anastomotic stenosis after surgery. Older patients are no longer treated with this method.

Prostate cancer can choose external beam radiotherapy, which has a better treatment effect, but it still uses radionuclides to implant in the prostate stroma, and treats localized prostate cancer in a short distance. Compared with traditional radiation therapy, short-distance internal radiation therapy uses some large doses of radiation to irradiate the prostate tissue and cause some damage to the surrounding normal tissue. This method is generally used for more serious patients. Computer tomography technology can be used to draw a three-dimensional map of the tumor area behind the normal prostate, so that the implantation site can be more accurate.

The survival time for advanced prostate cancer is generally around 6 months to 1 year. The specific survival time depends on the individual, because each person's disease severity, treatment method and physical condition vary greatly. This is just a range. Patients with prostate cancer need to pay attention to their personal lifestyle habits and adopt a low-fat diet. They can eat some fish or seafood. These foods contain relatively little fat, but high protein content, which can promote recovery. Patients should also adjust their personal emotions and eat more fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins and minerals.
