早期前列腺癌的检测与诊断

前列腺特异性抗原 (PSA)测试: A blood test that checks for elevated levels of a protein made by the prostate called prostate-specific antigen (PSA). 这种蛋白是前列腺癌的生物标志物. Biomarkers are subtle changes in genes or proteins that might be a sign of cancer.

4Kscore®和选择MDx: Blood and urinary tests that augment the PSA to help diagnose prostate cancer.

前列腺MRI(磁共振成像): radiologic examination of the prostate that can detect abnormal lesions that require biopsy.

MRI定向活检: A procedure done transrectally or transperineally using advanced imaging techniques to identify areas of the prostate suspicious for cancer, 然后直接对病灶取样.

前列腺特异性膜抗原(PSMA) PET扫描: An advanced scanning technology that can locate prostate tumors as well as advanced metastases with unprecedented precision.

基因测试: Tests such as Decipher and Oncotype Dx are used as needed to stratify the risk of a given tumor in order to aid in clinical decision making.

癌症遗传学

我们的 癌症遗传学项目 evaluates the potential genetic factors that can increase a man's risk for prostate cancer. Knowing about a specific genetic risk can help doctors more precisely tailor treatments for prostate cancer that are optimal for you.

近距离放射疗法: 一种使用放射性颗粒输送目标辐射的方法. The pellets are inserted into the prostate and remain in place for months. Brachytherapy spares healthy tissue by focusing its steady, high-dose radiation more precisely.

外束放射治疗: A localized form of high-dose radiotherapy that spares healthy tissues that surround a tumor.

立体定向全身放疗: A focused radiation treatment delivered over five sessions that uses 3D imaging to target tumors.

激素疗法: 用于降低体内睾丸激素水平的药物. 前列腺癌依赖睾丸激素, 因此，降低这种激素的含量有助于减缓癌症的生长. UCLA Health offers the latest form of hormone therapy including the newest oral drugs and anti-androgens, 其中两个是在皇冠hga025大学洛杉矶分校开发的.

化疗: Powerful drugs used in the setting of advanced disease and given intravenously to damage and kill cancer cells.
