前列腺癌

概述

什么是前列腺癌

前列腺癌始于构成前列腺的细胞中不受控制的细胞生长。Prostate cancer can be localized (cancer that has not spread outside the prostate) or metastatic (cancer that has spread from the prostate into other areas such as lymph nodes or bones). Some prostate cancer growth is caused by hormones called androgens (including testosterone). If reducing hormone levels stops the cancer growth, the cancer is classified as castrate-sensitive. Prostate cancer that continues to grow even after reducing hormone levels is called castrate-resistant. Prostate cancer usually grows slowly and can be detected early. Not all prostate cancer needs to be treated. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted drug therapy and immunotherapy.1
