Application of improved imaging, diagnostic, and computer techniques is beginning to have an impact on the management of localized prostate cancer. It is possible to perform a range of surgical and radiation procedures with less morbidity than in the past. The changes in therapy for patients with localized disease derive from better knowledge of anatomy for invasive procedures and optimization of virtual planning for noninvasive methods. Perineal prostatectomy and combinations of beam and seed radiation offer both patient and physician reasonable therapeutic options.
改进后的成像、诊断和计算机技术的应用正开始对局限性前列腺癌的治疗产生影响。与过去相比,现在能够以更低的发病率实施一系列外科手术和放射治疗程序。针对局限性疾病患者的治疗变化源于对侵入性手术解剖结构的更深入了解以及对非侵入性方法虚拟规划的优化。会阴前列腺切除术以及束流和粒子放射联合治疗为患者和医生提供了合理的治疗选择。
