Hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) is an incurable disease and as in the pressure sensitive adhesive era the median survival of patients is increasing, these men increasingly develop symptomatic problems as a result of advanced local and or metastatic disease during their progression to death. Recently, it has been shown that it is possible to improve survival in this group of patients with use of chemotherapy which reinforces the need of better options in palliative care. We discus the various clinical problems (Part I) and treatment options of palliative care (Part II) and try to formulate an action plan in this review.
激素难治性前列腺癌(HRPC)是一种无法治愈的疾病,在压敏胶粘剂时代,患者的中位生存期在增加,这些男性在病情进展至死亡期间,由于局部晚期和/或转移性疾病,越来越多地出现症状性问题。最近的研究表明,使用化疗有可能提高这组患者的生存率,这凸显了在姑息治疗中需要更好选择的必要性。在本综述中,我们讨论了各种临床问题(第一部分)和姑息治疗的选择(第二部分),并试图制定一个行动计划。
