PROSTATE CANCER

A basic treatment programs
Prostate cancer treatment can be divided into surgical treatment, hormonal therapy, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and treatment in Chinese medicine. Specific selection of the program, according to the patient's age, systemic symptoms, the cancer staging, state immunity and comprehensive consideration. General radical surgery for early adopters, five-year survival rate 75% 10 55% survival rate, 15-year survival rate of 33%. The frail elderly or have complications or pelvic metastasis of patients, radiotherapy should be OK, five-year survival rates of 60%, 10-year survival rate 39%. Using advanced endocrine, chemical treatment and Chinese medicine.

Prostate cancer is the male reproductive system common malignancy. Prostate below the bladder in a chestnut-shaped gland, in the middle through the urethra. It is the secretion of sperm liquid nutrient solution is a component of semen. Benign prostate enlargement and prostatitis produce similar symptoms and cancer. Prostate cancer mainly primary site for posterior subcapsular gland, was latent slow growth, a tumor hours without any clinical manifestation. Thus the advanced prostate cancer generally only show symptoms. A clinical disease duration and often asymptomatic B, C obstructive symptoms of a period, and D both distant metastasis obstructive symptoms have symptoms.

The prostate is wrapping men beneath the bladder, urethra around the size of an iron-like gland for men unique. According to statistics, China's annual 7 ~ 80,000 new cases of prostate cancer, 95% occurred in people older than 60, prostate cancer incidence continued to increase with increasing age. Clinical found that prostate cancer occurred in the posterior lobe, and no more early symptoms, even some discomfort, would not be enough to cause the patient's attention. When the tumor increased urethral compression, often confused with BPH. The club, about 80% of the patients first discovered lesions distant metastasis, and then found that prostate cancer. At this time, advanced lesions have a poor prognosis. Thus, the early detection of prostate cancer is clearly important.

Prostate cancer is the second biggest killer of men, the medical profession is still not completely cured of the disease method. Prostate specific antigen and two androgen receptor protein in prostate cancer is the main material.

American researchers found that vitamin E can interfere with the prostate cancer cells of prostate specific antigen and androgen receptor capacity. When prostate cancer cells were exposed to vitamin E, prostate specific antigen levels will drop 90%, that the growth of cancer cells was inhibited. In addition, the number of cancer cells was reduced by 25% to 50%. This study supports previous studies found that taking vitamin E supplements of men, the incidence of prostate cancer can be one-third drop.

Prostate cancer gene from the loss, it is pathological in Shanxi Tumor Hospital director Wang Hung-wide applications such as microdissection, from the level of gene detection of prostate cancer origin concluded.

Prostate cancer in cancer mortality in men, lung cancer has been beyond the second one. Because the disease is a combination of multiple genes changed tumor, pathological changes and the clinical performance of a variety show, according to morphology and cell carcinoma lesions of the reasons for the judgment of the traditional methods highly inaccurate, often leads to the treatment of the blind, affecting prognosis.

[Transfer and disseminated]

The higher the degree of malignancy of prostate cancer, early local infiltration will be clear and lymph node metastasis and tumor often violated seminal vesicle and bilateral lesions, few violations of the rectum. Along the lymphatic metastasis to the nearby pelvic lymph nodes, then transferred to the internal iliac, the skeleton, abdominal aortic adjacent mediastinal lymph nodes, and supraclavicular lymph nodes. Prostate cancer can fool to bone metastasis, the most common is the pelvis, lumbar spine, femur and ribs. Blood Road also can be transferred to the lung, liver, kidney, brain and other organs.
