Post Date April, 15 2023
Prostate sarcoma is a disease that does great harm to the male genitourinary system and affects the reproductive system and normal life of patients. Today we will investigate the harm and treatment of prostate sarcoma.
What is the harm of prostate sarcoma?
Compress the urethra and bladder: cause urinary tract irritation and urethral obstruction, resulting in urethral irritation signs (frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, etc.), difficulty in urination, urine stagnation, hematuria, etc. Therefore, in case of frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, dark urine color (such as dark brown), etc., you should seek medical attention immediately.
Compression of the ureter: after the ureter is compressed, it will lead to backflow of urine due to its inability to go down, and may be complicated with hydronephrosis, urinary tract infection, renal failure and other problems. Specific symptoms include anorexia, anemia, high blood pressure, fatigue, lethargy, edema, slow consciousness, electrolyte disorder, etc.
Compression of veins, lymphatic vessels or nerves: the compression of nerves is pain, and the compression of veins, lymphatic vessels is edema of lower limbs.
Tumor invasion or compression of rectum: tumor invasion or compression of rectum can be manifested as changes in stool habits, blood in stool and difficulty in stool.
Treatment of prostatic sarcoma
(1) Prostate sarcoma is limited to the capsule of the prostate. If it has not been infiltrated, it should be treated as soon as possible and radical cystprostatectomy should be performed.
(2) The tumor only extends locally to the bladder and rectum. If there is no distant metastasis, total pelvic organ resection can be used, but this method is not effective. After extensive surgery, the proliferation of tumor cells may be accelerated.
(3) For inoperable patients, radiotherapy is sensitive to a few lymphoid tumors and reticulocytic tumors, and also helpful to smooth muscle tumors. Some people believe that radiotherapy for rhabdomyoma may lead to the development of the tumor.
(4) Children were treated with chemotherapy after a definite diagnosis, and were surgically resected with VAC regimen (vincristine, ganomycin and cyclophosphamide). Many children need cystectomy and urine flow, but try to keep the rectum. In recent years, it is recommended that children receive chemotherapy first, then radiotherapy, and then bladder preservation surgery.
