Several relatively advanced prostate cancer treatments

With the progress of modern medicine, several relatively advanced treatments for prostate cancer have emerged, which are very beneficial to the scientific treatment of prostate cancer and can achieve better results. So what are the relatively advanced treatments for prostate cancer ? Let's talk about the relatively advanced treatments for prostate cancer.

In general, treatments for more advanced prostate cancer include:

1. External beam conformal radiation therapy (EBRT): It is a new method of applying external irradiation to the treatment of prostate cancer. By increasing the maximum radiation dose to the prostate and reducing the radiation dose to the tissues around the prostate, it can reduce the adverse reactions of traditional external beam radiation therapy and improve the treatment effect.

2. Radioactive particle implantation therapy (brachytherapy): This treatment method for prostate cancer is to implant radioactive particles into the prostate through the perineal skin, and kill prostate cancer through close-range radiation. Because it causes little damage and usually does not require other treatment assistance, it is also one of the curative treatment methods for prostate cancer. According to the tumor grade, stage, and PSA value, radioactive particle implantation therapy can be further supplemented with external conformal radiotherapy.

3. Cryotherapy: It is a minimally invasive treatment for prostate cancer. Under ultrasound guidance, a probe is inserted into the prostate through the perineal skin, and then liquid nitrogen at minus 96 degrees Celsius is injected into the probe to freeze and kill tumor cells. Currently, cryotherapy is often used as a second-line treatment for prostate cancer patients who have failed external radiation therapy.

The above is an explanation of the more advanced treatment methods for prostate cancer. I believe everyone should have some understanding of this. It is very important for patients to choose the appropriate treatment method for prostate cancer according to their actual condition.
