Of course, prostate cancer can be cured, and its disease period is very long. Therefore, it is unreasonable to judge the survival rate of prostate cancer according to our oncology five-year survival rate. Generally, the ten-year survival rate is used. According to the statistics of the largest group of prostate cancer in the United States, the ten-year survival rate is 84%. In other words, there are 100 prostate patients, 84 of whom are still alive after ten years, including low-risk, medium-risk and high-risk patients. However, in the United States, low-risk prostate cancer accounts for more than 60% of all prostate cancers, so its curative effect is correspondingly better. The ten-year survival rate of prostate cancer is 84%, in other words, 16% still died of prostate cancer, so the cure of prostate cancer should be said to be the best, but there are still shortcomings.
The prevention of prostate cancer is a topic of great concern to everyone. Some people say that eating tomatoes and lycopene is beneficial. Or some people say that it is beneficial to supplement trace element selenium for dietary supplement? And through some specific drugs to see if it helps? But there is no way to prevent this kind of prostate cancer. Whether eating tomatoes, supplementing selenium or using some special drugs, it can't achieve the purpose of preventing prostate cancer well. For men over 55 years old, it is recommended to have a PSA test. If the PSA index is high, regular reexamination or magnetic resonance examination or prostate biopsy is needed to find and treat the tumor in the early stage of prostate cancer.
