Recent Advances in Managementof Prostate Cancer
Journal Title: Journal of Oncobiomarkers - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in males worldwide and the incidence is increasing due to ageing population, screening facilities and rising awareness. This is a disease of the elderly and is biologically less aggressive as compared to some other malignancies. Most of the patients present with organ-confined disease, thus the age adjusted death rates are declining due to early detection and timely intervention. The various treatment options include external radiotherapy, brachytherapy or radical prostatectomy for low-risk early stage disease; hormonal therapy and external radiotherapy for advanced high-risk cases; and hormonal therapy, palliative radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy for metastatic disease. The main aim of this article is to sensitize the readers with the recent advances in management of cancer prostate.
