Low-risk prostate cancer usually has no clinical symptoms and progresses more slowly, so it can choose conservative treatment or radical treatment.
Low-risk prostate cancer refers to prostate cancer with prostate-specific antigen <10ng/ml and Gleason score of 2~6 and clinical stage T1~T2a.
Low-risk prostate cancer can be selected for watchful waiting, i.e., leave it untreated and determine whether the tumor has progressed through regular review. This method is applicable to patients younger than 60 years old and senior patients over 80 years old.
If the patient’s tumor indicators change during observation suggesting disease progression, radical surgical resection with peripheral lymph node dissection or radical radiotherapy will generally be recommended if physical conditions permit.
The prognosis of low-risk prostate cancer after surgical resection is good, and patients should have regular follow-up review after surgery. Patients should pay attention to rest, keep their mood happy and pay attention to the nutritional matching of diet, which is also conducive to delaying the development of the disease.
