Good news for prostate cancer patients

The prostate is a killer of men's health. Many men around us are troubled by prostate diseases, and they have been hurt both physically and mentally. With the current advanced medical technology, prostate diseases are not completely incurable. So, what good news is effective in treating prostate diseases?

1. External radiation therapy and internal radiation therapy. External radiation therapy now mainly refers to three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy, which is basically painless treatment, and the therapeutic effect is similar to the complete cure of prostate cancer. Its advantage is that the therapeutic radiation is more concentrated on the prostate receiving treatment, reducing the damage to surrounding tissues. External radiation therapy can cause acute cystitis, prostatitis and enteritis.

Second: Because the development of prostate cancer is closely related to androgens, blocking or reducing androgens can significantly reduce tumor size, reduce tumor growth rate and the occurrence of metastasis, but unfortunately it cannot completely cure prostate cancer. For early prostate cancer, hormone therapy is rarely needed. However, in some special cases, such as advanced age, patients who are not willing to accept complete surgical treatment or have other serious diseases, conservative treatment is required and hormone therapy can be considered.

3. However, with the development of minimally invasive techniques in urology, new minimally invasive instruments seem to extend the surgeon's arms, allowing precise operations to be performed in extremely narrow spaces. Highly clear laparoscopes have unique advantages in performing anatomical curative prostatectomy. Due to the magnifying effect of the laparoscope, the blood vessels, nerves and sphincters around the prostate can be clearly displayed, and the technical accuracy required for anatomical curative prostatectomy can be truly achieved. Postoperative complications are greatly reduced because there are no incisions and fewer wounds. Recovery after surgery is fast, and patients can even get out of bed and move around on the first day after surgery. It can be said that laparoscopic anatomical curative prostatectomy for the treatment of prostate cancer is one of the great achievements in the field of surgery in recent years.

Through the above introduction, male patients with prostate cancer feel that the world is beautiful, modern technology is becoming more and more advanced. Medical technology is also advancing by leaps and bounds. Some of our current difficult diseases are becoming more and more vulnerable to current medical technology. Therefore, male friends must maintain a good mood and welcome a better tomorrow.
