Ngemva kokuhlala phansi noTom omusha omusha, owesilisa oneminyaka engu-80 ubudala othakazelisayo osanda kutholakala ukuthi une-nodule ye-prostate kanye ne-PSA ephakanyisiwe yafika ku-50, ngambuza ukuthi kungani engazange ahambele udokotela iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-10 noma noma yikuphi ukuhlolwa kwe-PSA, waphendula, "Ngihlale ngijabulela impilo ephelele. Kungani ubona udokotela? "Uzwakala uhlobo olunjengokuphendula okuyisiphukuphuku, kodwa ngokubheka ngokubukeka kwakhe okunempilo, (ebheka ngaphezulu njengo-70), omunye kufanele athi kuze kube manje inqubomgomo yakhe iphumelele kahle.
Kodwa-ke, uma uTom ezobamba iqhaza ngokuhlakaniphile ekuxoxweni okuqhubekayo mayelana nokukhethwa kokwelashwa okungcono, izinga lakhe lolwazi lomdlavuza wesifo sofuba luzodinga ukuthuthukiswa okukhulu. Njengoba engumphathi wezokwelapha, ngangazi ukuthi imfundo yami kwakufanele iqale ezingeni eliphansi. Lesi sihloko sinikeza izingqungquthela eziyisisekelo ezidinga ukuzitholwa emadodeni asele ahlukaniswe ngolwazi mayelana nendlela umdlavuza wesibeletho uziphatha ngayo.
Akuwona Wonke Amagciwane Okufanayo
Iziguli eziningi ezangena emhlabeni womdlavuza azihluleki ukuqonda ukuthi umdlavuza wamaphaphu, umdlavuza webele, umdlavuza wobuchopho nomdlavuza wesifo sofuba yisifo esihluke ngokuphelele. Ngakho-ke, amadoda anomdlavuza we-prostate osanda kutholakala kudingeka aqonde ukuthi yonke imibono ehlobene nokuhlangenwe nakho komuntu nomhlobo owodwa womdlavuza okwenzekile emalungwini omndeni noma kubangane kuyoba edukisa ngokuphelele uma isetshenziselwa ukulindelwa komuntu ngomdlavuza wesibeletho.

Ingxenye yalokhu ukuziphatha okungafani kubangelwa ukuhlukahluka kwesiteji: Akekho oyomangala ukuzwa ukuthi umdlavuza wesigaba sokuqala unombono ohlukile kunezifo ezisezingeni eliphezulu.
Kodwa-ke, ngisho nalapho kuqhathaniswa ne-cancer ye-prostate emibili yesigaba esifanayo, lokho esikubiza ngokuthi "umdlavuza wesifo sofuba" usasashintsha kakhulu. Cabanga ngalokhu okulandelayo: Ngo-2014, kutholakala ukuthi amadoda angama-70,000 anesifo somdlavuza wesifo sofuba esicatshangwa ukuthi asilimazi kangangokuthi ochwepheshe bayavuma ukuthi akukho ukwelashwa okungcono ukuphathwa. Nokho, nakolunye uhlangothi, futhi ngo-2014, uhlobo oluhlukile kakhulu lomdlavuza wesifo sofuba lwaholela ekufeni kwabantu abangu-28 000 naphezu kwemizamo yokulondoloza impilo ngokuhlinzwa, imishanguzo, ukwelashwa kwe-hormone, ukwelashwa kwe-immune, kanye ne-chemotherapy. Lokho esikubiza ngokuthi "umdlavuza wesifo sofuba" empeleni kuwubuhle bokugula okuhlukene ngokuhlanganiswa ngephutha ngaphansi kwegama elilodwa lesambulela.
I-prostate Cancer in the Bone Akuyona I-Cancer Cancer

Umdlavuza wamathambo oyinhloko ukhula ngokushesha, uvame ukusabalalisa emaphashini futhi awuphenduli ama-hormone.
Umdlavuza we-prostate osakazeka emathanjeni ukhula kancane futhi uvame ukusabalala emaphashini futhi ngokuvamile uvame ukwelashwa kwe-hormone. Umdlavuza we-prostate emathanjeni nomdlavuza wamathambo oyinhloko yizifo ezimbili ezihlukene futhi ezihlukile ezingafanele zididane nomunye nomunye.

Kukhona okhethekile okumele ukwelaphe zonke izinhlobo zomdlavuza, kodwa izifo ze-oncologists zezokwelapha cishe azibandakanyi nokuphathwa komdlavuza we-prostate wokuqala. Kukhona nezinye izinguquko ezibalulekile zesiguli okufanele zicatshangelwe, iminyaka, ukuqina, kanye nesayizi yesicathulo njengesibonelo. Iziguli ezimbili zingase ziphathwe ngendlela ehlukile naphezu kokuba nesigaba esifanayo sezifo kanye nomhlobo ofanayo wesifo somdlavuza wesicathulo.
Isimo sikaTom
Njengoba i-PSA eneminyaka engama-50 enjalo, uTom uzodinga ukuskena kwethambo ukuze anqume ukuthi ngabe i-metastase yenzeke yini.
