Patient's question:
Chronic prostatitis for 2 years, test results: Prostate calcification spots. Past treatment history and effectiveness: Past treatment was ineffective. What kind of help is desired: Wants to focus on treatment.Doctor's answer:
The treatment methods for prostate cancer should be selected based on the patient's age, overall condition, the local extent of the tumor, and whether it has spread. For early-stage patients, treatment recommendations are more specific, including surgery and orchiectomy for prostate cancer, followed by hormone therapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine treatments, such as ginsenoside Rh2 (Hulimengsu), can induce apoptosis in cancer cells and inhibit the cell division of prostate cancer cells. They also help stabilize the patient's constitution by enhancing the immunity of T lymphocytes and improving the autoimmune mechanism. For elderly patients who are weak and in poor overall condition, external beam radiation therapy with a broader scope can be used alone. If the patient's condition is still relatively stable, internal radiation therapy can also be added.
