El tratamiento del cáncer de próstata
El cáncer que crece en la glándula de la próstata se denomina cáncer de próstata. El cáncer de próstata es la segunda causa principal de muerte por cáncer entre los hombres en los EE.UU. Aproximadamente uno de cada seis hombres será diagnosticado con cáncer de próstata durante su vida, pero sólo un hombre en 34 morirá de la enfermedad. En las primeras etapas, la cirugía y la radiación se puede utilizar para eliminar o intentar matar a las células cancerosas o reducir el tumor. Los médicos por lo general le aconsejaría someterse a una operación quirúrgica. A continuación, se dan algunos medicamentos a tomar. Muchos estudios han demostrado que esta combinación reduce los dolores experimentados por los hombres en gran medida, especialmente si el cáncer de próstata se ha propagado a los huesos. El cáncer no desaparecerá totalmente, ni se puede vivir más tiempo. Consultar a un médico también, y usted estaría en una mejor posición para decidir de acuerdo a su propia salud y sus valores personales. Los medicamentos pueden tener muchos efectos secundarios, incluyendo los sofocos y pérdida del deseo sexual. La incontinencia urinaria puede ser una posible complicación de la cirugía. También una forma de tratamiento para el cáncer de etapa inicial es alta intensidad de ultrasonido (HIFU). Este procedimiento se lleva a cabo bajo anestesia (o el uso de un anestésico local de la médula) y una sonda se coloca en la glándula de la próstata a través del recto. Un haz de ultrasonidos de gran intensidad es los utilizaron para elevar la temperatura en el área de interés y por lo tanto para eliminar las células cancerosas Otra opción de tratamiento del cáncer de próstata es la radioterapia. Este tratamiento del cáncer de próstata incluye el uso de radiación de alta energía de protones, neutrones, rayos gamma y rayos X, así como de otras fuentes para destruir las células cancerosas y para reducir cualquier tumor existentes. Hay dos maneras de que la terapia de radiación se pueden administrar como tratamiento para el cáncer de próstata. El primero es de una máquina que se encuentra fuera del cuerpo se llama radioterapia de haz externo, o puede que tenga material que es radiactivo que se coloca en su cuerpo, cerca de donde se encuentra el cáncer. Esto se conoce como terapia de radiación interna. Una técnica relativamente nueva, que aún se está evaluando, se conoce como la criocirugía. Durante la criocirugía, que se lleva a cabo bajo anestesia, sondas de enfriamiento son guiados en la próstata usando ultrasonido y las células cancerosas mueren por congelación. La forma de tratamiento para el cáncer en etapa temprana es ultrasonidos de gran intensidad (HIFU). Este procedimiento se lleva a cabo bajo anestesia (o el uso de un anestésico local de la médula) y una sonda se coloca en la glándula de la próstata a través del recto. Un rayo de alta intensidad de ultrasonido enfocado se los utilizó para elevar la temperatura en el área de interés y por lo tanto para matar las células del cáncer de próstata para fase tardía se utiliza la terapia hormonal del cáncer y esto está diseñado para no atacar el cáncer en sí mismo, sino para atacar el macho hormonas (en especial la testosterona), que las células cancerosas necesitan para crecer. En los casos en que la terapia hormonal prueba pueden ser recomendados, la radioterapia o la quimioterapia sistemática ineficaces. El resultado del cáncer de próstata es muy variable; sobre todo porque la enfermedad se encuentra en hombres mayores que pueden tener una variedad de otras enfermedades o condiciones que complican, como la enfermedad cardiaca o respiratoria, o discapacidades que inmovilizan o disminuyen en gran medida sus actividades. . Cualquiera que sea la etapa de su cáncer, es importante considerar todas las opciones cuidadosamente y sopesar las ventajas, desventajas y riesgos de cada una cuidadosamente antes de elegir el tratamiento que sea mejor para usted

Prostate Cancer Treatment
Cancer that grows in the prostate gland is called prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among men in the U.S. About one man in six will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime, but only one man in 34 will die of the disease.
In the early stages, surgery and radiation may be used to remove or attempt to kill the cancer cells or shrink the tumor. Doctors will usually advice you to undergo a surgical operation. You will then be given some medications to take. Many studies have shown that this combination reduces the pains experienced by men to a great extent especially if the prostate cancer has spread to the bones. The cancer will not totally disappear nor will you live longer. Seek medical advice too and you would be in a better position to decide according to your own health and your personal values. Medications can have many side effects, including hot flashes and loss of sexual desire. Urinary incontinence can be a possible complication of surgery.
Also a form of treatment used for early stage cancer is high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). This procedure is carried out under anesthesia (or using a local spinal anesthetic) and a probe is placed into the prostate gland through the rectum. A beam of high intensity focused ultrasound is them used to raise the temperature in the area of focus and thus to kill the cancer cells
Another prostate cancer treatment option is radiation therapy. This prostate cancer treatment includes the use of radiation of high energy from protons, neutrons, gamma rays and x-rays, as well as other sources to kill the cancerous cells and to shrink any existing tumors. There are two ways that radiation therapy can be administered as prostate cancer treatment. The first is from a machine that is located outside your body called external beam radiation therapy, or you may have material that is radioactive that is placed in your body near where the cancer is located. This is referred to as internal radiation therapy.
A relatively new technique, which is still being evaluated, is known as cryosurgery. During cryosurgery, which is carried out under anesthesia, cooling probes are guided into the prostate using ultrasound and the cancer cells are killed by freezing them.

For late stage prostate cancer hormone therapy is used and this is designed not to attack the cancer itself but to target the male hormones (in particular testosterone), which the cancer cells need to grow. In cases where hormone therapy proves ineffective, systematic radiation therapy or chemotherapy may be recommended.
The outcome of prostate cancer varies greatly; mostly because the disease is found in older men who may have a variety of other complicating diseases or conditions, such as cardiac or respiratory disease, or disabilities that immobilize or greatly decrease their activities. Whatever the stage of your cancer it is important to consider all of the options carefully and weigh the advantages, disadvantages and risks of each carefully before choosing the treatment that is best for you
