Prostate cancer - treatment

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.

The diagnosis and differential diagnosis

A diagnosis
(1) clinical diagnosis
1. Early symptoms may developed symptoms of advanced prostate hyperplasia with a similar obstructive symptoms. Because cancer metastasis to the bone, lumbosacral pain, sciatica, nerve paralysis, accompanied by weight loss, fatigue, loss of appetite and other systemic symptoms.
2. Digital rectal examination is a rock-hard prostate nodule, its boundaries unclear, mass sizes, or a few millimeters or large and fixed.
3. Laboratory ACP, AKP increase in transfers. PSA, PAP in the diagnosis of prostate cancer is a certain sense.
4. Ultrasound imaging examination revealed the prostate hypoechoic lesions. See X-ray examination of the bone changes that increased density of the shadow, we can see that osteolytic lesions transfer or mixed; THE chest lung metastases can be found. CT and MRI scans of the prostate that can be changed, occupying lesions and metastases. ECT earlier than X-ray found bone metastatic lesions.
5. Prostate Needle aspiration biopsy of the prostate can be diagnosed as a method used 6:00 puncture biopsy system.
More clinical staging method is not yet unified. Ts are commonly used phased improvement of law and TNM staging.
1. Improved staging of ts
A: Most of incubation. Clinical found no tumors, prostate digital rectal examination without change, found only in the examination of tumor cells and tumor cells in good, normal serum acid phosphatase.
A1 period: only confined to the prostate tumor lesions within one to two small regions.
A2 period: multiple tumor foci were still confined to the prostate.
B: Tumor confined to the prostate, but the digital rectal examination can be touched. The digital rectal examination can be divided into the following two.
B1 period: tumor nodules confined to the side of the prostate with less than 1.5 cm in diameter.
B2: tumor involvement Hitotsuba above or greater than 1.5 cm in diameter, but not over-coated. Normal serum acid phosphatase.
Stage C: Most violations have prostate cancer, benign prostatic capsule penetration violations spermatheca, bladder neck and pelvic bilateral or other pelvic organs, there is no transfer. Serum phosphorus acid normal or elevated enzyme.
C1 period: no cancer and seminal vesicle invasion.
XC2 period: seminal vesicle involvement or other pelvic organs.
D: Clinical and pathological have transferred. 2 / 3 cases of elevated serum acid phosphatase.
D1 period: pelvic lymph node metastasis in the aortic bifurcation.
D2 period: aortic bifurcation more lymph nodes and other organs and bone metastasis.
2.1974 Initiative, the International Union of TNM staging
The primary tumor (T) phases:
Tx: occasionally cancer (carcinoma in situ)
T0: the original tumor was found.
T1: tumor of the prostate 1 / 2 below normal size gland.
T2: tumor of the prostate 1 / 2 or 1 / 2 above, nor increase gland.
T3: tumor confined to the gland, but gland increases.
T4: the gland tumor,.
Regional lymph nodes (N) phases:
Nx: lymph nodes situation can not be estimated.
N0: No change lymph nodes.
N1: local lymph nodes deformation.
N2: can be fixed palpable abdominal lymph nodes.
Distant metastasis (M) stages:
M0: no transfer.
M1: metastasis.
Vaccine: Only bone metastases.
FDA: other parts of the transfer, with or without bone metastases.
2, differential diagnosis
1. Prostate tuberculosis prostate sclerosis, it is similar with prostate cancer. But younger patients, reproductive system other organs, such as the seminal vesicle, vas deferens, epididymis tuberculous lesion or urinary tuberculosis symptoms, such as frequency, urgency, novel urethral secretions, blood and sperm. Tuberculosis prostate nodule for local infiltration, texture than they. Urine, prostatic fluid, semen with red, IL. X-ray shadow sometimes visible calcification prostate, prostate biopsy pathology typical TB change.
2. Prostate stone for stone prostate digital rectal examination, ahead of prostate, palpable calculus of a hard twist of the flu. Pelvic X-ray shadow of stone that the prostate; Ultrasonography showed that the prostate area with the light acoustic shadow.
3. Nonspecific granulomatous disease prostatitis nodules developed rapidly, with peak-like protrusions, hard and soft mixed, but resilient. The treatment of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication 1-2 months sclerosis smaller. Hard Festival prostate biopsy, endoscopic rich in non-caseating granulomas, full of epithelioid cells, foam cells, around lymphocytes, plasma cells, eosinophils, the gland often rupture expansion, with inflammatory cells.
4. Prostate nodular hyperplasia prostate showed diffuse increased, smooth surface, there are nodules flu; PSA general in the normal range; Prostate ultrasonography increased its points-in uniform, prostate capsule for reflection, clearly limits its surrounding tissue.
5. The incidence of prostate sarcoma with high youth, children accounted for 1 / 3; Condition rapid development, shorter duration. Digital rectal examination prostate enlargement, but flexible texture, soft as cystic more with lung, liver, bone metastasis and other clinical symptoms.

Suffering from sporadic prostate cancer how do

I am suffering from prostate hyperplasia, recently accepted the transurethral resection of prostate. After resection of the prostate tissue, the pathological examination revealed cancerous lesions, it allows me great mental burden. Whether this will be the development of cancer, the treatment needs to be done further? — Hebei readers afternoon LI

A: The current benign prostate disease (mainly BPH) for the diagnosis, after resection of the prostate biopsy of the prostate cancer found that the accident, called sporadic cancer. This type of prostate cancer incidence rate of about 3% to 10%.

Symptoms, signs and diagnosis

Prostate cancer generally slower development, can be asymptomatic. There will be advanced disease bladder outlet obstruction or ureteral obstruction symptoms or hematuria. Transferred to the pelvis, ribs and vertebrae can cause pain. Locally Advanced Prostate cancer can spread to the performance of the seminal vesicle sclerosis, glands fixed to the side.

Digital rectal examination found abnormal transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) shows hypoechoic lesion or serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in prostate cancer should be suspected. However, histological diagnosis be confirmed, is the most commonly used transrectal ultrasound guided transrectal biopsy, the patient may biopsy , without anesthesia. there nerve peripheral lymphoid infiltration of diagnostic value. occasionally removed from surgery for suspected benign prostatic increased in malignant transformation can be found in diagnosis of prostate cancer.

New safety in the use and pancreatic cancer vaccine-induced immune response

Baltimore, Johns Hopkins Medical Association's Dr. Elizabeth M. Jaffee and his colleagues on the 14 cases eight weeks before the trip Pancreatoduodenectomy pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients given various doses of allogeneic secreted GM-CSF (granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor) of the tumor vaccine Test.

12 cases of patients tested with the vaccine after a six-month adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Such treatment after six cases in remission after one month by month by month to give three times the original dose immunization.

Prostate cancer and stage of the pathological changes

Features
All the tumors were malignant prostate, and the overwhelming majority of glands in peripheral adenocarcinoma of the gland. It mainly occurs in men over the age of 50, occasionally occurred in young people and even children.

Autopsy results showed that with the increase of age, the incidence of prostate cancer has increased, but the more extensive histology higher morbidity. Prostate certain regions more vulnerable than other parts of malignant transformation. Implementation of the United States had 208 cases of total prostate cancer early clinical case study, they found that 97% of prostate cancer occurred in peripheral areas or peripheral Center district, which also proved a little past some of prostate cancer in the prostate center of the conclusions.
