Patient's question:
My father is 66 years old this year. He was hospitalized on October 19, 2009, and underwent a prostatectomy for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Prostate cancer was discovered, and pathological tests revealed prostatic mucinous adenocarcinoma, which had invaded blood vessels. Gleason score was 4. On the fourth day after surgery, PSA tests showed: free prostate-specific antigen (glittering) 0.121 ng/ml, total prostate-specific antigen (glittering) 0.545 ng/ml, and the ratio of free to total PSA was 0.222. A full bone scan was performed, showing no obvious signs of bone metastasis. Please consult experts to guide the development of a treatment plan. How should prostate cancer be treated?Doctor's answer:
1. Orchiectomy [Bilateral Testicular Removal].2. Local bladder irrigation with chemotherapeutic drug preservation treatment.
3. Systemic chemotherapy.
It is hoped that this may be of assistance. Prostate hyperplasia tends to recur. Long-term medication maintenance is required, and for male patients, it is essential to seek professional and reputable medical treatment promptly. Treatment should be considered based on examination results, and attention should be paid to quitting smoking and drinking alcohol. Personal hygiene should also be noted.
