Patient's question:
The patient is 85 years old this year (2019). Ten years ago, a thorough examination revealed prostate cancer, and at that time, surgery was performed to remove the cancer. Simultaneously, both testicles were removed. After the surgery, the patient took medication for the past two years. In April of this year, a thorough examination was conducted, and the images show the results of the examination. This is the medication for a late-stage patient. Therefore, I would like to sincerely ask for some advice. Based on the test results, is the treatment still necessary for the patient? How effective is this medication? Is it a prescription drug or can it be purchased at ordinary stores? Thank you, thank you!Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to actively treat prostate cancer patients to stabilize their symptoms and shorten their survival time. The specific effects cannot be confirmed and are related to the patient's actual condition. The medication mentioned by the patient is a prescription drug and requires a prescription from the hospital to be sold. After surgery, patients can take Chinese medicine for recuperation. In terms of Chinese medicine, I suggest the patient take small-molecule anti-tumor Chinese medicine, which can enhance the degree of comprehensive recovery after surgery for prostate cancer patients and may also increase the occurrence of a series of complications after surgery, as well as the proliferation and recurrence rate of prostate cancer cells.
