Condition Guide

About Prostate cancer

Understand the condition, common triggers and treatment options that may require specialist assessment.

Disease Introduction

Prostate cancer is a common malignant tumor in elderly men. Early stages are often asymptomatic and are frequently detected through PSA screening or MRI. It progresses slowly but is prone to bone metastasis. Treatment is stratified according to stage: localized prostate cancer is primarily treated with radical surgery or radiotherapy, with options for function-preserving and organ-preserving focal therapies; advanced prostate cancer is based on castration therapy, combined with novel endocrine drugs and radionuclide therapy to prolong survival. Precise PSMA-PET staging and robotic function-preserving surgery make treatment more accurate and less invasive.

Cutting-edge high-precision diagnostic and treatment technologies

PSMA-PET precise staging : Compared with traditional CT/bone scans, PSMA-PET/CT has higher sensitivity and specificity in detecting metastatic lesions. Studies show that about 53% of patients change their radiotherapy plans and about 68% change their treatment plans as a result.
Robotic-assisted radical cure : Selective preservation of neurovascular bundles under 3D high-definition guidance significantly improves the rate of urinary control and sexual function preservation; the single-port robotic incision is only about 3-4cm, and some patients can be discharged 3 days after the operation;
Focal treatment with organ preservation : For low- to intermediate-risk localized cancers, HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) and cryoablation only destroy the tumor area, preserving organ function and resulting in rapid recovery of sexual function;
Novel endocrine therapy : Second-generation AR inhibitors apatamide, enzalutamide, and dalotamide reduce the risk of death by approximately 22%, 27%, and 31% respectively compared to placebo; for patients with high tumor burden, the first-line treatment is triple therapy of "ADT + dalotamide + docetaxel", with a 2-year survival rate of 82.4%.
Radionuclide targeted therapy : In patients with castration resistance to bone metastases, 177Lu-PSMA-617 prolonged median overall survival (15.3 months vs. 11.3 months) compared to standard treatment.
