What are the manifestations of prostate cancer with bone metastasis? What are the conventional therapies for prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors with bone metastasis. According to statistics, 80% of prostate cancer patients will have bone metastasis. Bone metastasis is common in iliac bone, vertebral body, rib, skull and proximal end of long bone, and it mostly occurs in the part with rich blood supply in the bone axis. The clinical manifestation of bone metastasis is bone pain. Persistent pain often affects the patient's appetite and daily rhythm of life, leading to the patient becoming thinner and suffering. In addition, if the bone is eaten by tumor cells, it is easy to fracture after cancer bone metastasis. Tumor cells invading the spine of patients will cause bone marrow compression symptoms, and treatment is more difficult.

In recent years, the incidence of cancer bone metastasis has increased significantly. In addition to prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, kidney cancer, thyroid cancer, liver cancer and other tumors will also have bone metastasis. The pain symptoms after bone metastasis are different from those of common osteoarthritis. It appears on the bone. The pain caused by osteoarthrosis worsens during the day, activities and sports, and decreases at night and at rest. The pain caused by cancer bone metastasis is obvious at night, which is heavier than that in the daytime, and cannot be relieved by rest, which often lasts for a period of time.

Many elderly people lose more and more bone as they grow older. They are prone to osteoporosis and low back pain, and sometimes fracture is a natural phenomenon. However, it is clear that there is no obvious external factor but it is broken, there is no inducement of low back pain, or you have cancer, you must be alert to whether the cancer bone has transferred.

What are the manifestations of prostate cancer with bone metastasis

Bone metastasis of prostate cancer can occur in any bone. The common bone metastasis sites include pelvis, lumbar spine, sacrum, thoracic spine, rib, etc. In general, the poorer the cancer differentiation, the higher the probability of bone metastasis. The patients with bone metastasis of prostate cancer are mostly osseous changes, but also osteolytic or mixed changes, should actively take reasonable treatment measures to prevent the deterioration of the disease.

When prostate cancer has bone metastasis, persistent bone pain occurs, especially when the patient is still, the pain symptoms are particularly obvious, and pathological fracture and paralysis occur when the condition is serious. Prostate cancer may also have liver metastasis, which may lead to hepatomegaly, dyspnea, hemoptysis and other symptoms. Prostate cancer patients with bone metastasis may have symptoms such as anorexia, emaciation, anemia, and even cachexia when the disease progresses to the late stage.
