Typical prostate cancer survival

Prostate cancer is also a type of malignant tumor. Many male patients develop prostate cancer because of certain prostate diseases. Many people are more worried about the survival period of prostate cancer. The survival period of cancer is closely related to the treatment method and the development of the disease. Therefore, not all prostate cancer patients have the same survival period. So how long is the general survival period of prostate cancer?

1. Prostate cancer is first of all a malignant tumor, and secondly, it is an indolent tumor. The so-called indolent tumor means that its prognosis is generally good, and prostate cancer progresses slowly. For prostate cancer patients, the five-year survival rate can generally reach 50%, so don't worry too much about prostate cancer. If you find prostate cancer, it is recommended that you have early surgery and early treatment after you find it. If it is an advanced prostate cancer, it is recommended that you can perform drug castration and surgical castration. Drug castration includes many drugs such as Diphereline and Enantone, and the effect is very good.

2. Generally speaking, prostate cancer is a chronic cancer, and the survival period is longer than other malignant tumors. For localized prostate cancer, the five-year survival rate should be 100%; for advanced prostate cancer, the five-year survival rate is about 28%. Therefore, early diagnosis and early treatment are still necessary for prostate cancer. Through combined treatment, patients can achieve better results. Ordinary people usually divide a tumor into early or late stages, and doctors will divide early and late stages more finely. The size and area of ​​the tumor can be divided into T stages, T1-T4 stages, and lymph node staging can also be performed by whether there is lymph node metastasis, and whether there is distant metastasis can be divided into M1, M1b and M1c. Different stages indicate that the patient's survival period can be long or short, so early diagnosis and treatment will bring more benefits to patients.

3. There is no definite clinical time for how long a prostate cancer patient can live. Generally speaking, if the patient is in good general physical condition and is diagnosed early, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, etc. are performed early, and the patient can obtain long-term survival. If the patient is in poor general physical condition, is diagnosed late, or even has underlying diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and coronary heart disease, the effect of this treatment will not be so good, and the patient's survival time will be short. Prostate cancer is a slowly developing malignant tumor with a course of more than ten years. The survival time after surgery can be roughly determined based on the patient's tumor stage and malignancy. If prostate cancer has been accompanied by multiple metastases throughout the body, the prognosis is poor and the survival time is short. When the disease progresses rapidly, the patient may only survive 1 to 2 years.
