Can early-stage prostate cancer be cured?

I believe that male friends are familiar with prostatitis, because men are more likely to be infected with prostatitis after they get older. If prostatitis is not treated in time, it is easy to develop into chronic prostatitis, which will have a serious impact on the normal urinary system of male friends. Excessively severe prostatitis can also develop into prostate cancer. So can prostate cancer be cured in the early stage?

When the tumor develops to a certain extent, symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and difficulty urinating will appear. As the disease progresses, when the symptoms of metastasis appear, it is already in the late stage, and the treatment effect at this time is not satisfactory.

The cause of prostate cancer is not yet fully understood, but a large amount of clinical data suggests that it is related to sex hormones. It is estimated that it is caused by an imbalance in the ratio of estrogen to androgen in the blood circulation, especially changes in androgen. Some studies also believe that the incidence rate is significantly increased in areas with serious environmental pollution.

In addition, the occurrence of prostate cancer is also related to excessive or insufficient sexual activity. Having said so many terrible things about it, is it really incurable? We don't need to be too scared of this potential killer.

For example, men over 45 years old should undergo a regular rectal examination every year, which is the simplest and most effective way to detect prostate cancer.

If the digital examination reveals that the prostate is enlarged, hardened, uneven, and the central groove disappears, you should be alert to the presence of this disease and need to do further examinations, such as B-ultrasound, prostate-specific antigen, and prostate puncture biopsy when necessary, because this is the most reliable diagnostic method with an accuracy rate of 80%~90%.

Once diagnosed with prostate cancer, early treatment should be started as soon as possible. Different treatment methods are used according to the different stages of the disease, such as surgery, endocrine therapy, radiation, chemotherapy, cryotherapy, and immunotherapy. For early stage patients, the chances of cure are very high.
