[Health Medical Network/Reporter Zheng Yifen]Prostate cancer ranks as the second most common cancer among men in the world, and many celebrities suffer from prostate cancer. Feng Sizhong, chairman of the Taiwan Urological Association and a professor at Linkou Chang Gung Hospital, said that Taiwan will enter a super-aging society in 2025, and the incidence of prostate cancer is increasing year by year. Clinically, the treatment of prostate cancer includes surgery and radiation, but traditional surgery “removes everything regardless of the three seven twenty-one”, and the patient’s life becomes black and white! A 43-year-old patient was treated with a new generation of HIFU knife, and he cooperated with the follow-up consultation following the operation. He recovered well and retained his urination and sexual functions.
There are two extremes of symptoms: not obvious in the early stage, and transferred in the late stage
As the age increases, the probability of suffering from prostate cancer rises rapidly, which is an elderly medical problem that mature men have to face. Feng Sizhong said that prostate cancer is the fifth most common cancer in men, and regarding 7,000 new patients are newly diagnosed every year. High-risk groups are the elderly and those with a family history. Prostate cancer is usually accompanied by enlarged prostate glands, and the Chinese diet is westernized and high in oil and sugar. It is recommended that people over the age of 50 must have regular health checkups and follow up every 2 to 3 years once.
Early stage: The symptoms are not obvious. If there are frequent urination, tired urination, nocturia, slow urination speed, and inability to urinate smoothly along with prostate hypertrophy, it is recommended to see a doctor to check whether there is a tumor.
Late stage: Urethral obstruction, tumor damage to the bladder causing hematuria, and cancer cells may metastasize to bones, causing patients to fracture easily.
Whether the three major directions of treatment can preserve urination and sexual function is the key
In the clinical treatment of prostate cancer, different treatment strategies are formulated according to different stages. There are multiple options for the treatment of prostate cancer. The main methods in China are surgical resection, radiation therapy, Haifu knife, and hormone therapy, and cryotherapy. treat. The early treatment policy is surgical resection, and the health insurance provides benefits for the new minimally invasive surgery; if the patient wants to retain normal urination and sexual function, the new generation of Haifu Knife approved by the US FDA is highly safe and has fewer side effects.
What kind of knife is Haifu knife? Feng Sizhong described: “Just like cooking food in a microwave oven, Haifu Knife uses ultrasonic waves to focus on cauterizing the lesion and burn the tumor away.” and sexual function. However, due to the limited cautery area, the probe is inserted from the anus, and the tumor cannot be more than 4 cm high, or if the tumor is close to the nerve, it is not suitable for cautery. The 5-year survival rate can reach 90% for early stage patients receiving Haifu Knife treatment, which is suitable for the following groups:
Gleason score (Gleason score) between 6-7 points
The tumor stage is 1 and 2, the tumor is not large
Want to preserve urination and normal sexual function
Those who are too old or do not want to have surgery
Avoid random guns and birds, Haifu Knife uses ultrasonic waves to accurately cauterize lesions
A 43-year-old patient experienced urination and frequent urination. The Gleason score was found to be 6 points during the medical examination, but he did not dare to undergo surgery to remove the tumor. He decided to undergo a new generation of Haifu knife treatment. After the operation, he cooperated with the follow-up visit and recovered well. Urination and sexual function; compared with another 52-year-old case, following a period of follow-up following the first operation, the prostate cancer recurred. The patient considered resection or radiation therapy, but was still worried regarding the quality of life followingwards. In the end, the patient still chose Had the Haifu knife surgery that might be treated once more. Feng Sizhong said that following any treatment, the possibility of recurrence still needs to be tracked. Another advantage of Haifu Knife treatment is that it can be used as a rescue treatment to solve the problem of cancer recurrence. Physicians remind the public to exercise more, control their weight, eat vegetables, and improve their living habits to help reduce risks and avoid being “detained for probation”.
Feng Sizhong said that there are prostate cancer patients from 40 to 80 years old. The way of treating prostate cancer in the early years is “regardless of all three seven twenty-one cuts, the patient leaks urine and sexual dysfunction, and life becomes black and white.” Now there are precision treatments, combined with MRI and ultrasound images to fuse prostate slices (Fusion biopsy), which can improve the accuracy of detection, find out the lesions, and avoid random shooting.
In addition, the Taiwan Urological Association will invite Mark Emberton, a urologist with 20 years of experience in Haifu Knife treatment, to come to the University College London (UCL), Professor of Interventional Oncology and Dean of the School of Medical Sciences, in August. Taiwan and urologists exchange experience in ablation therapy and precision treatment, and improve the level of precision treatment of prostate cancer in Taiwan to meet international standards.
