If a patient with early stage prostate cancer undergoes surgery, the cancer will usually not metastasize after the surgery. If a prostate cancer patient undergoes surgery in the middle or late stage, the cancer cells will usually metastasize after the surgery. Each patient’s condition is different, so it is impossible to conclude whether the cancer cells will metastasize after surgery. Prostate cancer patients who undergo surgery at an early stage have a certain chance of being cured. If all the lesions are removed during the surgery, the cancer will basically not metastasize after the surgery. If surgery is performed in the middle or late stage of the disease, the cancer cells cannot be completely removed through surgery because the cancer cells have already spread in the patient’s body, and the cancer cells will usually metastasize after the surgery. Therefore, if patients with middle or late stage prostate cancer have the chance to undergo surgery, they need to follow the doctor’s instructions to undergo endocrine therapy, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other auxiliary treatments after surgery to promote the elimination of cancer cells in their bodies. After surgery, patients need to go to the hospital for regular checkups to determine whether the cancer cells have metastasized and to monitor the development of the disease. It is recommended that prostate cancer patients should take good care of their body after surgery, have regular checkups and follow up when they are not feeling well.
