Experts explain common methods of treating prostate cancer

As people pay more and more attention to men's health, prostate cancer, as a disease that seriously endangers men's health, has also attracted the attention of many people. Now let the experts tell you about the common methods of treating prostate cancer .

In general, common treatments for prostate cancer include:

(1) Endocrine and adrenal drug therapy: Currently, endocrine therapy has become the main method for treating prostate cancer, especially advanced prostate cancer.

(2) Surgical treatment: pelvic lymph node dissection and transurethral prostatectomy, which are mainly used to relieve bladder neck obstruction and achieve the purpose of treating prostate cancer.

(3) Surgical treatment to reduce the endocrine androgen testosterone: Orchiectomy is often combined with other treatments to achieve better therapeutic effects. Adrenalectomy and hypophysectomy have poor clinical effects and cause greater damage to patients, so they are no longer used.

(4) Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy for prostate cancer was first used clinically in 1973. Many scholars believe that the effect of using two drugs in combination is better than using one drug alone. This is also a common method for treating prostate cancer.

(5) Radiotherapy: Radiotherapy is used for external radiotherapy and intra-tissue radiotherapy. This method is often combined with radical prostatectomy or pelvic lymph node dissection. Whole body radiotherapy: It can relieve local pain of bone metastasis and reduce the development of lesions to a certain extent. These are also common methods for treating prostate cancer.

(6) Immunotherapy: When the patient's prostate cancer tissue is reduced to a very small amount by other treatments, the use of immunotherapy to remove the small amount of remaining cancer tissue in the body may achieve better results.

(7) Cryotherapy: This method of treating prostate cancer is suitable for patients with large prostate tumors and poor general condition. It can promote the patient's immune ability and cause the metastatic lesions in the bones, lungs, etc. to degenerate. Because it requires special equipment, it has not yet been widely used.

The above is an introduction to the treatment of prostate cancer. I hope it will be helpful to prostate cancer patients. Patients must choose the treatment method that suits them according to their actual condition and cannot choose blindly.
