The prostate is an endocrine gland in men. It is located in the center of the pelvis, surrounds the proximal urethra and produces a secretion that liquefies semen and promotes sperm motility.
Today, tumor lesions of this gland are often recorded.
The main etiological factors of prostate cancer are hormonal changes, high concentration of testosterone, genetic predisposition, cadmium poisoning, poor diet, high sexual activity.
Prostate cancer is manifested by frequent urination, pain in the perineum and the appearance of blood in semen and urine. Metastases cause pain in the bones and swelling of the legs.
Prostate cancer treatment in Israel
Precancerous conditions such as atypical hyperplasia or intraepithelial neoplasia require special attention as these conditions can becomemalignant. In this case, patients should already be undergoing full treatment for prostate cancer.
There are many medical institutions in Israel that provide medical care to men who have been diagnosed with a malignant tumor.
I must say that the treatment of prostate cancer in Israel is carried out only after a thorough examination, which includes tests for the detection of antigen, rectal examination of the prostate, as well as transrectal echography.
After a clear diagnosis of prostate cancer, the following treatment methods are applied.
• Radiotherapy - the therapeutic effect of radioactive radiation (aimed at the destruction of cancer cells). This technique is used for localized tumors and for early detection of cancer. Radiotherapy is also used in severe cancers to relieve symptoms and reduce the size of tumors. It should be noted that there is a separate type of radiotherapy - brachytherapy, in which the radiation source is injected directly into the tumor formation.
• Treatment of prostate cancer in Israel is also carried out by exposure to high-power ultrasonic waves. When exposed to ultrasound, cancer cells, so to speak, are heated and then destroyed. This treatment technique is used for small tumors.
• When prostate cancer occurs, home remedies are often combined with hormones, which slow down the growth of tumor cells and preventmetastases. Traditional medicine cannot be used as an independent treatment method in the development of a cancerous process of any localization. It should be noted: the treatment of prostate cancer with folk remedies does not give a full therapeutic effect, but can only stop the development of the tumor and increase the patient's immunity.
• In some cases, a wait-and-see approach can be used to simply monitor the condition of patients and the nature of tumor growth. This tactic is gaining popularity in the detection of cancer in older men, as well as among those patients who have strict contraindications to surgery or hormones.
• Surgery involves removing the tumor during an operation called a prostatectomy.
