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 extent of local injury caused by the tumor, and whether it has spread. For early-stage patients, treatment recommendations are relatively well-established, involving surgical treatment for prostate cancer and orchiectomy, followed by endocrine therapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment. The treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, such as ginsenoside Rh2 (Humedix), can induce apoptosis in cancer cells and inhibit the cell division of prostate cancer cells. It stabilizes the patient's constitution by enhancing the immunity of T lymphocytes and improving the autoimmune mechanism. For elderly and frail patients with poor overall condition, expanded-field external radiation therapy can be used alone. If the patient's condition is still relatively good, internal radiation therapy can be added.
