stage 4 terminal liver and prostate cancer

(4) advanced (stage Ⅲ): refers to jaundice, ascites, distant metastasis to the emergence of death, only about two months. This period has been the lack of effective extension of the life of patients with the method of treatment. Portal vein thrombosis on the irreversible disease process plays an important role.

Therefore, primary liver cancer a long natural history, at least 2 years. By AFP anomalies in the blood, tumors has been developed to a certain size, the tumor actually occurred earlier time should be.

HCC has always believed that the course is very short, usually not more than six months, with a fetal globulin (AFP) detection and the broad application of the progress of various positioning methods, 1 to 2 cm detection of small hepatocellular carcinoma, so that people on the liver Cancer natural gain a new understanding of the course. 1981 Shanghai Medical University, et al raised liver cancer natural course of the new concept.

Treatment of patients with life likely to have serious repercussions. Prostate cancer surgery, radiation therapy and drug treatment often cause impotence and incontinence. Compared with the treatment of young people aged 70 or older, the benefits of small. Because the elderly may be due to other reasons is still dead. Many suffering from prostate cancer, particularly older persons in the early stages of cancer development is slow, observe for a period of time to treatment is desirable.

When the need for treatment, the treatment approach depends on the scope of tumor development, such as tumor only confined to the prostate, usually adopts a prostatectomy or radiation therapy, is expected to cure. On the sexual activities of the patients. Can be modified radical resection of prostate cancer. This retains the nerve surgery, approximately 75% of the patients to preserve sexual function, urinary incontinence were less than 5%. However, such a high degree of surgery on the malignant tumor, the smaller the chance of success. If the cancer has spread outside the prostate, this operation also has no value.

Confined to the prostate cancer may radiotherapy. When prostate cancer has been the infiltration of outside organizations, but it has not distant metastasis, it may choose to radiotherapy. Radiation therapy can be used-ray irradiation or radioactive substances needles inserted into the prostate.

Has been the transfer of prostate cancer can not be cured, but treatment can ease the symptoms. Since many patients with prostate cancer and testosterone and therefore prevent such effects, the treatment is likely to slow tumor growth. Such treatment of about 80% of the patients is beneficial. Blocking drugs can be used, such as acetic acid-C Ruilin, but can cause significant changes in the body, such as loss of libido, impotence, such as breast growth. Up to 1 / 3 of patients, the treatment may occur within one year of the cancer drug tolerance.

Bilateral testicular extraction, has been greatly reduced testosterone levels, but due to the physiological and psychological factors that patients unwilling to accept this operation. Surgical treatment once completed, does not require repeated treatment, less than the cost of drug therapy, and surgery can be non-residential, it is an effective method of treatment. With other treatment method is not the transfer of bone cancer, and radiation therapy can be used to make drug treatment or tumor shrinkage.
