Studies have found that eating tomatoes and fish can effectively prevent prostate disease, especially for prostate cancer. Speaking of prostate cancer, people often think that the "patent" in Europe and America is because in Europe and America, the incidence rate of the disease is as high as 100/10 million, ranking second in cancer deaths. In China, the incidence rate was very low, 2 to 3/10 million years ago, but the incidence rate increased gradually in recent years, which has increased by 4 times compared with 10 years ago.
It's not easy to detect early
Prostate gland is a gland which is located under the bladder and around the urethra. It is the normal chestnut size and is unique to men. According to statistics, there are about 80000 new cases of prostate cancer in China every year, mainly in the elderly over 60 years old. Because the location of the prostate is hidden, the canceration site is mostly located in the posterior lobe, and it will not oppress the urethra and cause dysuria in the early stage; Even if there is discomfort, such as dysuria, it is often mistaken for the performance of old age, or caused by prostate hypertrophy, thus delaying the early diagnosis and treatment. When the tumor increases to a certain extent, the urethral compression, often is not early. In our hospital, many patients first appeared bone pain, found distant bone metastases, after examination found that the primary lesion is from prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer is not terrible, early detection, timely treatment, can be cured, does not affect life. Therefore, the early diagnosis of prostate cancer is very important. Men over 50 years old should have a special examination every year, including digital rectal examination, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and transrectal ultrasound examination. For suspicious cases, prostate biopsy should be performed.
The prognosis of early prostate cancer is good
For early prostate cancer, the best treatment is to do radical surgery, that is, when the cancer is limited in the prostate, the radical resection, can achieve the purpose of lifelong cure, also does not affect the quality of life of patients. Radical operation or castration combined with endocrine therapy can be considered on the basis of neoadjuvant therapy for prostate cancer with perforation of prostate capsule and local invasion. With the improvement of surgical level and anatomical technique, radical operation with nerve and blood vessel preservation can make most patients recover their sexual function after operation. Advanced prostate cancer can be treated with anti androgen therapy combined with local radiotherapy or chemotherapy according to the situation, and most of them have good curative effect.
In clinical work, we often encounter patients who have undergone transurethral resection of prostate due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. When pathological examination is carried out on the resected prostate tissue after operation, prostate cancer is accidentally found, which is called incidental cancer. This type of prostate cancer is mostly focal, with small size, well differentiated cells, slow growth, few chances of metastasis and good prognosis.
Eat more fish and tomatoes
Due to the unclear etiology of prostate cancer, there is no effective preventive measures. Men who never eat fish are two to three times more likely to develop prostate cancer than those who eat fish regularly. Men with the highest serum lycopene levels are 35 percent less likely to develop prostate cancer than men with the lowest levels, according to new research. These results suggest that eating more fish and tomatoes (tomatoes) can prevent and reduce the incidence of prostate cancer.
