The early asymptomatic of prostate cancer, even if there is discomfort, is not enough to attract the attention of patients, which brings difficulties in early diagnosis.A new study led by the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom found that tall and strong men are more likely to develop prostate cancer.
The tall and strong men are actually favored by prostate cancer
Researchers investigated 150,000 participants from 8 countries, of which 7024 were suffering from prostate cancer.It was found that compared with the normal waist circumference, the risk of prostate cancer increased by 18%every 10 cm increased by the waist circumference; the risk of dying to prostate cancer increased by 17%for each increase of 10 cm in height.
Researchers said that people's height cannot be changed, but given the impact of height on prostate cancer, it is recommended that tall and strong men must regularly check the medical examination, regularly meals, get up early and get up early, quit smoking and alcohol.
Treatment of prostate cancer
1. Endocrine therapy
Endocrine therapy is a common treatment method for advanced prostate cancer, and its curative effect is relatively positive.Because prostate cancer has typical hormone -dependencies, endocrine therapy in clinical clinical clinical can significantly alleviate prostate lesions and symptoms, but it has no significant impact on the survival of patients.
2. Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy has a good treatment for prostate cancer, which can significantly reduce prostate tumor lesions.It is mainly used for patients who have difficulty resection or have no longer removal but no far -reaching metastasis.Radiation therapy is divided into internal irradiation therapy, external illumination therapy, and palliated radiotherapy. The most commonly used is external radiotherapy.
3. Chemical therapy
Chemotherapy is a common auxiliary treatment method for late prostate cancer. It is mainly used for patients with local tumors after surgical treatment or radiotherapy.Applying chemotherapy drugs to eliminate potential small lesions that are currently not detected.The application of chemotherapy drugs alone cannot cure primary lesions. Auxiliary chemotherapy can extend the survival of patients' postoperative surgery.
4. Surgical treatment
Surgical treatment is currently the treatment of prostate cancer. However, because prostate cancer is found to be advanced, the best surgery time is often missed.Most of the patients with prostate cancer are the elderly, and the prostate root treatment surgery is mostly damaged, so it should be strictly grasped by the adaptive certificate and taboos.(Reference website: seek medicine and ask medicine)
