Résumé : |
To put it in a nutshell, my end of study work looks at the different methods available to treat patients suffering from Prostate Cancer and relapse.
Firstly, we will look at the different ways to diagnose prostate cancer such as PSA dosage and rectal examination which are the first 2 steps for a diagnosis. Then, if needed, we will carry out a biopsy where we will determine the Gleason score or WHO score. If required, we can also do additional tests like a bone scan (scintigraphy) or CT scan. Afterwards, we will look at treatment methods which are: radical prostatectomy, external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy. Finally, we will also look at the available treatments in case of a relapse. For a diagnosis, this is the PSA dosage which has an abnormal increase, generally followed by an MRI and PET/CT with PSMA. For treatment, the patient can choose to have PRT, external radiotherapy and brachytherapy but also hormonotherapy as well as a cryotherapy/HIFU. We will look at the "focal salvage high dose rate brachytherapy" in detail, a new method which should prove its efficiency in the following years. Finally, we study 4 different patients' cases who chose this new treatment's method. To conclude, there are currently several methods to treat patients suffering from Prostate cancer. There are many ways to treat this disease as it is very common, with relapses and deadly. That's why we are still searching for new methods so that this type of cancer has less impact. |
