Advanced Prostate Cancer and Palliative Care

Mrmed.in10 Oct, 2023Health

Prostate cancer, one of the most prevalent cancers in men, typically progresses to an advanced stage once it has spread beyond the prostate gland. The major aims of treatment at this phase are symptom management and improving the patient's quality of life, rather than curative therapies. By offering a multidisciplinary approach that addresses the patient's physical, emotional, and psychological needs, palliative care takes centre stage.
