Is prostate cancer serious?

Prostate tumors are often serious and require aggressive treatment.

Prostate tumors include tumors of prostate epithelial or mesenchymal origin, most of which are malignant tumors, such as prostate cancer, prostate sarcoma, etc. It is more common in elderly men. When the tumor grows, it will block the urinary tract, causing symptoms such as slow urinary flow, frequent urination and urgent urination, interrupted urinary flow, incomplete urination, difficulty urinating, and hematuria. If not treated in time, it will metastasize to distant places and endanger the patient's life, so it is quite serious.

Prostate tumors require surgical treatment, including palliative surgery and radical surgery. Advanced patients require adjuvant treatment with chemotherapy, and some patients can undergo radiation therapy.
