Cost of radical prostatectomy

Prostate cancer refers to an epithelial malignant tumor that occurs in the prostate. In 2004, the WHO classified prostate cancer pathological types as adenocarcinoma, ductal adenocarcinoma, urothelial carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and adenosquamous carcinoma. Among them, prostate adenocarcinoma accounts for more than 95%, so what we usually call prostate cancer refers to prostate adenocarcinoma.

The general cost of surgery is 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. Radical prostatectomy can eliminate all tumor tissues in the body, including the prostate and prostate capsule. The surgical approach is through the perineum or retropubic incision, and retropubic incision is now more commonly used. Generally, only 5% to 10% of all cases are suitable for radical prostatectomy. Whether radical prostatectomy is performed in stage B2 depends on the pathological grade of the tumor and whether the pelvic lymph nodes have metastasized. After surgery, you must strengthen your maintenance and physical strength to prevent recurrence.
The best treatment for prostate cancer is to find it early and do radical surgery. If it has metastasized, castration can be considered. After removing the testicles, continue to take oral anti-androgen drugs. It is difficult to say the price for different surgical methods and different hospitals. If it is a simple testicular removal, it usually costs a few thousand yuan. If it is a radical surgery, it may cost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
