Modern treatment options for prostate cancer

There has been significant progress in the treatment of all cancers in the last twenty years, but for prostate cancer, especially because it is rather a slow evolution, especially in the early stages.

This requires that detected in its early stages. If diagnosed early, there are nearly 100% probability of survival of at least five years, but full recovery is also common.

I hope what I write below is reliable, but this is my interpretation of the research I've done. I am not trained in medicine if you are interested in one of the following treatments, please do your own research, not my confidence.

The probability of survival as the basis for another five years for different variants are the most common cancers: pancreatic cancer - 4%, liver cancer - 7% of esophageal cancer - 14%, cancer Lung - 15%, ovarian cancer - 53%, bladder cancer - 82%, breast cancer - 87% of testicular cancer - 96% and prostate cancer - 98%.

Actual figures above vary slightly from one country to another and from one survey to another. A major reason for the high success rate of detection of prostate cancer. Men are tested for prostate cancer more often these days, so it is diagnosed earlier also.

Everyone has heard of chemotherapy because he used to be the standard treatment for all cancers threaten life. Chemotherapy has many unpleasant side effects, one of which was for hair loss. Chemotherapy is used only in cases where else should be in place today.

Chemotherapy is usually only used now if the cancer has spread beyond its place of origin - the prostate gland. Metastasis is the spread of cancer. If it has metastasized, the patient may have secondary growths in the bladder, lungs, spine and other bones. Chemotherapy is the fastest way to bomb the blanket around the body and fight against all cancers while.

Radical prostatectomy is the removal of the prostate through the peritoneal entire area between the penis and anus. The removal of the prostate may be necessary if solutions or other hormonal and have not worked and the cancer has not spread.

Cryotherapy is the use of gel to kill the tumor locally. Cryotherapy is often used if the patient can not undergo hormone treatment or radiotherapy. Some people prefer to deal with cryotherapy that surgery too.

 Cryotherapy is performed by inserting the probes through the skin and cancer. The probe tips and then freeze the cancer. Cryotherapy can be used in conjunction with other types of treatment or on its own, but this is true of all resources.

Is common for a patient to undergo several different types of treatment at the same time or one after the other, so that the cancer is attacked by a number of addresses at the same time. This strategy also means that the body does not suffer too much of a form of therapy.

 Cryotherapy is a relatively new treatment and there are also modern external beam therapy. The proton beam radiation has been practiced for 50 years, but the neutron beams are newer variations.
