    Data show that in 2020, there will be more than 110,000 new cases of prostate cancer in China, and more than 50,000 deaths.


    Why is prostate cancer so high? How can we find out early? What are the main treatment methods? Recently, Sina Medicine interviewed Professor Gong Kan, chief physician of the Department of Urology, Peking University First Hospital, on the above issues, so that the public can understand this "silent killer" more comprehensively

    There are many reasons behind the high incidence of prostate cancer in China


    In addition to high morbidity, prostate cancer in China also presents the characteristics of high mortality.


    So, how can the signs of disease be detected early? According to Professor Gong Kan, there are no specific symptoms in the early stage of prostate cancer.


    In this regard, Professor Gong Kan suggested that men over the age of 50 should undergo PSA examinations every year.

    If prostate cancer is diagnosed, clinicians will adopt corresponding treatment plans according to different stages


    Early-stage patients do not need to rush for treatment, because prostate cancer is an indolent disease, progressing relatively slowly, and compared with cancer types such as liver cancer and pancreatic cancer, it has a lower degree of malignancy


    At present, most patients in China are in the late stage, locally late stage or distant metastasis stage at the first diagnosis, and a comprehensive treatment plan is needed


    At the same time, Professor Gong Kan also said, “Tumor is a disease that requires comprehensive treatment.


    What Professor Gong Kan introduced is the much-concerned Multi-Disciplinary Treatment (MDT) model.


    In addition, China has a vast territory and a large gap in medical standards between regions.
