Several factors can affect life expectancy for prostate cancer, including treatment and diet.
Even with the progress research on cancer, many men with an aggressive form of this disease has been told it is incurable. This usually means that the patient should watch and wait. They do nothing to improve their chances of survival.
New studies offer hope
However, a new study offers some hope of increasing life expectancy. Surgical removal of the prostate or radiation therapy was found to double the life expectancy compared to those who do not receive such treatment. It was found that patients who receive radiotherapy or prostatectomy (surgical removal of the prostate gland), even with no more aggressive prostate cancer metastasis have a hope life over 14 years.
Some doctors believe that the aggressive forms of prostate cancer is beyond cure. The more doctors, whose point of view changes, the greater the likelihood that these patients life expectancy will increase.
The treatments for prostate cancer Extend Life Hope
There are several treatments that will prolong the life expectancy of patients with this disease. A drug called Taxotere, also been used for women with advanced breast cancer. The prostate cancer life expectancy in men who took Taxotere increased nearly 20%, making this drug therapy standard of care for patients. As with most medications, side effects can be expected. The effects The most serious side were nausea, anemia and hair loss. Men who were treated with Taxotere survived a additional period of 18 months while those who did not receive Taxotere lived only 15 months older. While three months in May does not seem to live a difference Significantly, it shows that progress in the treatment of prostate cancer developing in the right direction.
Radical prostatectomy involves removing the entire prostate. Complications exist, as they do with any other type of surgery. However, some men may incontinence or impotence. The mortality rate is very low for this treatment.
More promising research on prostate cancer life expectancy Treatments
A study was conducted by Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center found that when animals were given an experimental drug or they remained precancerous, or benign prostate enlargement developed. Sixty-four percent of animals that have not received the drug developed a prostate cancer advanced. Most American men who are diagnosed with this cancer will die for lack of treatment and metastases. Medical science is constantly seeking ways to not only improve life expectancy for prostate cancer, but also to improve quality of life of patients.
