There are many types of approaches and treatments after the diagnosis of localized prostate cancer (PCa) depending on its stage and risk group. But in all of them the decision has to be made with the patient and evaluated by a multidisciplinary medical team according to the international guidelines.
The approaches currently described are:
. What about it? – Periodic controls with blood tests and control of symptoms without any active treatment.
What are the indications? – Patients with localized PCa and a life expectancy of less than 10 years.
What about it? – Transrectal application of ultrasonic waves that treats the prostate by means of heat (65ºC). The technique can be used on the entire gland or on part of it (focal therapy)
What are the indications? – Patients with a life expectancy greater than 10 years, with localized PCa categorized as low/intermediate risk, and always in the experimental setting.
