Treatment Options for Prostate Cancer
the treatment of prostate cancer is traditional surgery, where the prostate is removed entirely or partially, and radiotherapy, are used in the radioactive emissions to burn the cancer cells. For decades, they are the only effective method could eliminate prostate cancer.
New treatments for prostate cancer have emerged in the past decade thanks to the research in the world. Most of them involve surgery to remove tissue, but not required.
Surgical Options
all treatments with surgery require overnight hospital stay at least one day prior to surgery. Some surgical options may require hospitalization for one or more days, depending on the process and how quickly you can recover.
A prostatectomy is a surgical procedure that removes the entire prostate. This is often prescribed for patients with prostate cancer are limited. With the prostate, seminal vesicles and with the sperm of the urethra from the bladder neck and lymph nodes.
After these bodies with a common side effect impotence away from being mild to severe urinary incontinence. In addition, the recovery time may be slow.
A pelvic lymph node which is connected only to the prostate. Lymph nodes on both sides wrap around the urethra into the prostate. Muscle tissue in the lymph nodes in order to adjust the flow of urine through the urethra.
Removal of lymph nodes can be mild to moderate urinary incontinence in many patients.
Transurethral resection is a less invasive procedure. It is done to eliminate or reduce blockages in the urethra. A surgical instrument for cutting and cauterizing is inserted through the penis and the prostate overgrown sections cut or burned.
Side effects of surgery can be mild to moderate urinary incontinence.
Radiotherapy
all irradiations operate on the principle that radioactive emissions, in order to eliminate cancer cells and to prevent burn their growth.
External radiotherapy or radiotherapy used particle radiation with high performance for the basin of a device outside the body. When the particles hit the cancer cells, which heats up quickly and burned. This procedure is performed on 5 consecutive days for about 5-7 weeks. No anesthesia is required and carried out usually on an outpatient basis.
Complications that can occur are as follows.
• marked bladder or rectum, or both.
• Impotence of 12 months after treatment.
• Radiation burns or bowel sphincter.
A similar treatment is somewhat different from the proton. During use of the external source to the beam, the grain of charged ions instead of radioactivity together. The principle of removing burn cancer cells remains the same. Proton Therapy requires a lower risk of side effects than traditional radiation therapy, although clinical studies have not conclusively prove.
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound
HIFU - is a new treatment that is non-surgical and non-invasive. It was in Europe, for over a decade and approved by Health Canada in 2003. Currently, it is in the United States. HIFU for prostate cancer, the patient experiences an outpatient 2-3 hours in which the focused ultrasound waves, high accuracy can be used to kill the cancerous tissue.
The computer control HIFU introduced toot delivery of ultrasonic waves through a computer controlled probe into the rectum. The clinical results indicate that. This alternative treatment to be safe and effective with fewer side effects
