How effective is targeted treatment for prostatitis?

In real life, prostatitis is a common physical disease for many men. Suffering from prostatitis will not only affect physical health, but also easily lead to some physical complications, affecting normal life. There are many ways to treat prostatitis. Targeted treatment of prostatitis has a certain effect, and targeted treatment methods can be used.

The treatment of chronic prostatitis is generally comprehensive. Targeted positioning device treatment has a certain effect. It can be selected.

Technical Introduction

In addition to conventional surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, biological therapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment, different targeted therapy techniques can be used for targeted therapy according to the different targets of tumors at the organ tissue and molecular levels. Local lesion targets can be treated with local targeted ablation, targeted radiotherapy, radioactive particle implantation targeted internal irradiation therapy, high-energy focused ultrasound therapy, intravascular interventional therapy and local drug injection. The target of molecular targeted therapy is the malignant phenotype molecules of tumor cells, acting on specific cell receptors that promote tumor growth and survival, signal transduction channels, and the regulation of angiogenesis and cell cycle, to achieve anti-tumor effects of inhibiting tumor cell growth or promoting apoptosis.

Targeted therapy is a treatment method that targets an identified cancer-causing site at the cellular and molecular level (the site can be a protein molecule inside a tumor cell or a gene fragment).

Corresponding therapeutic drugs can be designed. When the drugs enter the body, they will specifically select carcinogenic sites to bind and take effect, causing the specific death of tumor cells without affecting the normal tissue cells around the tumor. Therefore, molecular targeted therapy is also called "biological missile."

Photodynamic therapy

It means that under the action of light and with the participation of photosensitizers, the function or morphology of organic cells or biological molecules change, which may lead to cell damage and necrosis in severe cases. This action must involve oxygen. The method of using photodynamics to treat diseases is also called photodynamic therapy (PDT). The research on targeted drugs, namely photosensitizers (photodynamic therapy drugs), is the key to affecting the prospects of photodynamic therapy. Photosensitizers are some special chemical substances whose basic function is to transfer energy. They can absorb photons and be excited, and then quickly transfer the absorbed light energy to the molecules of another component, so that they are excited and the photosensitizer itself returns to the ground state.

Application of targeted therapy in diseases: condyloma acuminatum, acne, port-wine stains, tumors, etc.

Advantages of the treatment:

(1) Minimal trauma: With the help of optical fibers, endoscopes, and other interventional techniques, lasers can be guided deep into the body for treatment, avoiding the trauma and pain caused by thoracotomy, laparotomy, and other surgeries.
