Obesity is one of the most important causes of oily food consumption. In addition, as in every disease, smoking and alcohol play a leading role. Since prostate cancer cannot be detected before it has progressed to advanced stages, it is recommended to routinely be examined for prostate cancer once a year in our patients with a family history, in all men after the age of 40, in those without a family history, and in all men over the age of 50. Urology Specialist Op. Dr. Mesut Yeşil gave information about the subject.
EXAMINATIONS ARE VERY IMPORTANT
Examinations are very important to treat the disease 100 percent. We do a blood test as an examination. We also decide on the hardness of the prostate and whether it has a regular structure. As a result, in suspicious cases, if prostate cancer is detected in our patient according to the biopsy result, we move on to the next stage.
STAGES OF PROSTATE CANCER TREATMENT
This treatment usually varies as surgery, radiotherapy, hormone therapy and chemotherapy. If the cancer is at an advanced stage, that is, if there is bone metastasis or metastasis related to another organ, we start hormone therapy. When we do not get results from hormone therapy, we switch to chemotherapy in more resistant patients.
