Patient's question:
I was hospitalized in early April this year due to low-grade fever and hypoglycemia. During the hospital stay, MRI detected a possible prostate cancer. Later, PET-CT revealed prostate cancer with liver and rib metastases. Due to my age, endocrine treatment was used. However, before starting Nalreotide, my family members were unaware and did not give him the drug Casodex. I consulted the doctor about whether there would be any interference or negative effects if he took Nalreotide without Casodex. Looking forward to your reply! Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Okay, here is the translation, following your instructions:It can be eaten. Follow the current treatment focus. The tumor, in its advanced stage, has recurred and spread. It is not suitable for surgical removal. Chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy is needed to suppress the tumor's further progression, reduce the rates of recurrence and metastasis, lower quality of life, and as much as possible, shorten survival. If the advanced tumor has already spread and surgery cannot be performed, a follow-up visit to the oncology department is necessary, with chemotherapy as the foundation. Also, pay attention to nutritional support and encouragement, and lowering the body's immunity. Active treatment can still benefit overall quality of life. Prostate conditions are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication treatment. Furthermore, for male patients, it is necessary to immediately go to a professional and regular hospital for diagnosis. Treatment options should be considered based on the results of the examination. Also, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
