How dangerous Biden’s cancer
Dr. Rajiv Kumar Sethia said that the cancer of Biden is in the advance stage. It has been called the glycean score 9 in medical language. After biopsy, it is measured in cancer cells as to how much it has the ability to spread further. The score is given on this basis. Cancer with glycean score 9 or 10 is considered the most serious. This means that cancer cells are growing rapidly. It is on stage 4 of cancer, which means that this cancer has spread to other parts of the body, especially bones. But do not go to your horrors. Science has made so much progress that it is also possible to treat it. Dr. Rajiv Sethia says that 9 and 10 scores can not be completely cured, but life can be increased in this. If the body works properly, then life can be extended for 5 to 10 years.
What is the treatment of advance -stage cancer
Dr. Rajiv Kumar Sethia said that it is also treated like other cancer. But the treatment of prostate cancer is easier than other cancers. Since testosterone hormone plays an important role in furthering prostate cancer, the first step to cure prostate cancer is to stop testosterone hormones in the body. Earlier it was treated by removing the testicles of men, but now it is not done. Now an injection or pill is given for this, which stops the release of testosterone hormones or reduces. However, just stopping testosterone does not complete the treatment. Therefore, doctors also provide medicines called Androgen blocker, which also blocks the remaining hormones in the body. If the cancer is spread more in bones, then patients are also given oral chemotherapy or radiation. It is given targeted chemotherapy. Dr. Rajiv Sethia told that today the medical world has become very advanced. Therefore, with the help of PSMA PET scan, you get very quick and accurate information.
How to get this treatment done
Dr. Rajiv Kumar said that its treatment is the same as the treatment for Biden. There has been a lot of advancement in the treatment of cancer in India for the last decade. Prostate cancer can be treated in all places as large government hospitals and big trustee hospitals in India. If you reach the doctors at the right time, then prostate cancer is completely cured, but even if you reach stage 4, your life will increase. Dr. Rajiv Sethia said that now this treatment is also cheaper. Cancer medicines have become very cheap in this government. There is a very cheap chemotherapy medicine for this.
What to do to avoid this disease
Dr. Rajiv Kumar Sethia said that no symptoms of prostate cancer are already visible. When the urine started having problems, it means that the prostate cancer came to the advance stage. In such a situation, the best way to avoid this is that after 55 years, you must get prostate cancer done once every two years. If you come to know first, then 100 percent of it is known. If someone in your family already has prostate cancer, then they should start screening from the age of 45 years.
For how many days the possibility of living
In the New York Times report, Doctor Jad Mall of Duke University says that in advance -stage prostate cancer, patients can also live for 5 to 10 years or more. Which may be in the case of Biden that they die naturally, not due to this prostate cancer. Dr. Mall said that this type of disease has now become common and both quality and time can be improved through treatment. In recent years, the methods of treatment and investigation have improved significantly, due to which the condition of such patients has become better than before. Prostate cancer specialist at the University of Washington, Dr. Daniel Lynn, says that now the lives of patients are measured not in months, but in years. On the other hand, Professor of Duke University, Dr. Jad Mall said that men whose cancer has spread to bones can also survive even 5, 7 or 10 years or more. He also said that given the age of Biden, it is possible that he may die due to natural reasons and not from prostate cancer.
