"Virus fragment" technology has been used to confirm the SARS virus. According to reports, the new structure of the virus in mice with leukemia virus similar Branch. Experiments also found that 20 genes are defective in patients with prostate cancer, eight were found in the virus. Not found in patients with other viruses.

Similar to the situation in Beijing, in 1985 the incidence rate was 2. 38/16 10000, 1985 ~ 1995, the City of prostate cancer incidence increased by 2.3 times, is also expected to achieve a 10/10 10,000.
Bone metastases of prostate cancer is the main performance <BR> advanced prostate cancer is the most vulnerable to the malignant bone metastasis, more than 80% of patients with prostate cancer bone metastases will happen. Metastatic bone lesions can be found at Ilium, vertebrae, ribs, skull and proximal long bones, mostly in the avascular bone axis rich site. The most common prostate cancer is the first clinical manifestation of bone metastasis is the bone pain. Sustained pain, and often affect patients with anorexia and daily rhythm of life, so patients increasingly emaciated, the misery. Secondly, because the bones were 1.1 points to tumor cells "eat", the bone metastasis was prone to pathologic fracture. If tumor cells of the patient spinal vertebrae, then vertebral collapse will lead to the symptoms of spinal cord compression by, it makes treatment more difficult.
Bone metastases of prostate cancer treatment is a comprehensive treatment of early prostate cancer often <BR> male androgen treatment resistance is sensitive. But with the development of disease, treatment of androgen resistance will gradually lose their role, but also the development of prostate cancer has advanced. Fortunately, the disease Although Zhao advanced prostate cancer, but resistance to androgen therapy is sensitive. Through oral drugs and the necessary surgical intervention, he fell to a certain androgen levels. In order to alleviate the symptoms of bone pain, the doctors gave him a main component of the use of bisphosphonates for the special drug. With drug drop by drop in the importation of Mr. Zhao, bone pain from the torture he gone step by step, gradually smile in the face of Mr. Zhao spacious. Three weeks later, Mr. Zhao calmly walked out the door of the hospital.
Bone metastases of prostate cancer treatment in addition to the above-mentioned endocrine therapy (androgen treatment resistance), bisphosphonates in the treatment, under different conditions also can be used chemotherapy, the radiation therapy, radiation therapy within radionuclide therapy and various integrated applications. Another more advanced treatment, such as immune therapy and gene therapy, is still in the pilot stage, clinical application of small, but has a very broad application prospects.
Urology doctors Suggestions <BR> majority of prostate cancer patients with bone metastasis, because of a certain feeling of headaches body to the hospital and found the orthopedic treatment. But unfortunately, at this time of prostate cancer has developed to the advanced. Therefore, the importance of early detection of prostate cancer.
The generally accepted clinical effective early detection of prostate cancer is the digital rectal examination and examination of the serum concentration of P SA. Digital rectal examination can be found in prostate cancer nodules, carefully rectal examination for prostate cancer early diagnosis and staging are of important significance. If that is found suspicious nodules, it would need to further prostate biopsy, about 70% of the patients could be diagnosed. PSA is a prostate cancer-specific serum indicators, generally less than normal abnormal. If higher than the target, this will cause doctors attention. Men over the age of 45, preferably every three months to six months to see a urology clinic, do a detailed inspection of prostate related.
