Umdlavuza wePrastate

Template:Infobox medical condition (new)Umdlavuza wamankwahla ungukukhula okungalawuleki kwamangqamuzana aphakelana namankwahla, ngezansi kwesinye. Umdlavuza wokuqala we-prostate awubangeli izimpawu. Ukukhula okungavamile kwezicubu ze-prostate kuvame ukutholakala ngokuhlolwa, ngokuvamile ukuhlolwa kwegazi okuhlola amazinga e-antigen ye-prostate (PSA). Labo abanezinga eliphakeme le-PSA egazini labo basengozini eyengeziwe yokuthola umdlavuza we-prostate. Ukuxilongwa kudinga ukuhlolwa kwe-biopsy ye-prostate. Uma umdlavuza ukhona, udokotela wezifo unikeza i-Gleason score, futhi i-high score imele isimila esiyingozi kakhulu. Izithombe zezokwelapha zenziwa ukufuna umdlavuza osakazeke ngaphandle kwe-prostate. Ngokusekelwe kumaphuzu kaGleason, amazinga e-PSA, kanye nemiphumela yokuthwebula izithombe, isimo somdlavuza sinikezwa isigaba 1 kuya ku-4. Isigaba esiphakeme sisho isifo esiphambili, esiyingozi kakhulu.

Izimila eziningi ze-prostate zihlale zincane futhi azibangeli izinkinga zempilo. Lezi ziphathwa ngokuqapha okusebenzayo, ukuqapha isimila ngokuhlolwa njalo ukuqinisekisa ukuthi asikhule. Izimila ezingase zibe yingozi kakhulu zingabhujiswa nge-radiation therapy noma zisuswe ngokuhlinzwa nge-I-radical prostatectomy. Labo abanomdlavuza odlulela ngalé kwe-prostate belashwa nge-I-hormone ehlisa amazinga ama-androgen (ama-hormone obulili abesilisa) amangqamuzana e-prostate adinga ukuze aphile. Ekugcineni, amangqamuzana omdlavuza angakhula amelane nalokhu kwelashwa. Lesi sigaba esiphakeme kakhulu sesifo, esibizwa ngokuthi umdlavuza we-prostate omelana nokucasulwa, welashwa ngokwelashwa kwama-hormone okuqhubekayo kanye nesidakamizwa se-docetxel. Ezinye izimila zisakazekela kwezinye izingxenye zomzimba, ikakhulukazi amathambo nAma-lymph nodes. Lapho, izimila zibangela ubuhlungu obukhulu bamathambo, ubuthakathaka bemilenze noma ukukhubazeka, futhi ekugcineni zibulale.
