Question:

What is the all-in-all therapeutic strategy in prostate cancer?

Author: H K



Answer:

● localized prostate cancer: active surveillance or curative treatment (by surgery or radiotherapy). ● locally advanced prostate cancer: curative treatment by surgery in young subjects or hormone-radiotherapy. ● metastatic prostate cancer: hormone therapy. ● prostate cancer in the castration resistance phase: hormonal manipulation with little symptomatic symptoms (androgenic withdrawal syndrome, DistilbeneR, new hormonal therapies) or so symptomatic chemotherapy (bone pain ...). ● and do not forget: 100% care, comfort care (treatment of pain, urinary disorders ...). Surveillance of at least 10 years based on clinical (TR) and biology (PSA level, testosteronemia) is recommended
