Understanding Late Stage Prostate Cancer
Late-stage prostate cancer refers to cancer that has spread beyond the prostate gland to other parts of the body. This advanced stage of the disease poses unique challenges and requires a multidisciplinary approach to treatment. At Tri-City Medical Center, we specialize in offering the latest advancements in prostate cancer care, providing patients with hope and improved quality of life.
Comprehensive Approach to Treatment
Dr. Richard Martinez and our expert medical team utilize a comprehensive approach to treating late-stage prostate cancer. We understand that each patient is unique, and our treatment plans are tailored to individual needs, taking into account the stage, characteristics, and overall health of the patient.
Our arsenal of treatment options includes:
- Hormone Therapy: Also known as androgen deprivation therapy, hormone therapy aims to suppress the production of testosterone, which fuels the growth of prostate cancer cells.
- Radiation Therapy: By using high-energy radiation, targeted beams are directed at cancer cells, destroying them and minimizing damage to healthy tissues.
- Surgery: In some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to remove the prostate gland or other affected areas.
- Immunotherapy: This innovative treatment approach harnesses the power of the immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells.
- Chemotherapy: Medications are used to kill cancer cells throughout the body, helping manage late-stage prostate cancer and alleviate symptoms.
