Patient's question:
A friend has been diagnosed with pelvic cancer, and it seems to have metastasized now. How is the treatment for advanced pelvic cancer that has spread to the urethra?Doctor's answer:
Chemotherapy is primarily used for advanced or recurrent/metastatic patients. In recent years, it has also been employed in combination with surgery, using preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy (intravenous or arterial perfusion chemotherapy) to shrink tumor lesions and control subclinical metastasis, as well as for radiotherapy sensitization.
