How many chemotherapy sessions are usually performed for bone metastasis after prostate cancer surgery

Bone metastasis after prostate cancer surgery generally requires 4-6 chemotherapy sessions. The specific number is not fixed and needs to be determined based on the patient's physical condition, age, and condition.

Bone metastasis after prostate cancer surgery is mainly the result of further progression of the disease after surgery failure, and most patients will lose their lives due to continued proliferation of cancer cells. If the disease is discovered in time, chemotherapy can effectively slow down the proliferation of cancer cells, thereby prolonging survival. Usually, if the physical condition is relatively good, the number of chemotherapy sessions is 5-6 times, but if the physical condition is relatively poor, the number of chemotherapy sessions will be reduced, perhaps around 4 times, because the side effects of chemotherapy are relatively large, and it may also bring greater pain due to inability to bear the side effects.

Of course, the number of chemotherapy sessions also needs to be determined based on the patient's age. If the patient is relatively old and has entered the elderly stage, the number of chemotherapy sessions should be reduced as much as possible, and can be controlled at 4-5 times, because the body's functions are relatively poor. If the patient is relatively young and in middle age, the number of chemotherapy sessions can be appropriately increased to 5-6 times.

The number of chemotherapy sessions is not determined by the disease, but is evaluated after the patient's various body functions are examined. During chemotherapy, you need to strictly follow the doctor's instructions to do a good job of nursing and pay more attention to rest.
