K Hospital has just received and treated patient T.D. T, 88 years old, diagnosed with stage IV prostate cancer. Thanks to the application of prostate targeted biopsy technique through the perineum, doctors have accurately identified the pathology, thereby providing a timely treatment regimen.
The patient was admitted to the hospital in a state of chest pain, shortness of breath, and severe cough, previously diagnosed with pneumothorax and pleural drainage. During the examination, abdominal ultrasound discovered suspected lesions in the prostate gland.
Multi-parameter magnetic resonance imaging results showed damage to the peripheral peripheral of the prostate gland, invasive of the sperm sac on the same side, classified as PIRADS 5 - a very high suspected level of cancer. The image also recorded abnormal nodules in the pelvis and coccyx, suggesting the possibility of bone metastasis.
Faced with the complicated condition of the disease, doctors at K Hospital performed prostate targeted biopsy technique through the perineum. This is a modern method, helping to take accurate tissue samples at the suspected area, while reducing the risk of infection compared to rectal biopsy.
After biopsy, the patient was diagnosed with prostate epithelial cancer, Gleason's 9-point tumor, neuroendocrine tumor, stage IV, with metastatic lesions in the lungs and bones.
Doctors quickly prescribed endocrine therapy to control the growth of cancer cells. After treatment, the patient showed signs of good drug response, and continued to be monitored and consulted with multiple specialists to develop a suitable regimen.
This case shows the important role of diagnostic imaging and targeted biopsy in prostate cancer, especially for elderly patients with many accompanying diseases. The new technique helps improve accuracy, increase safety and shorten diagnosis time, creating conditions for patients to be treated early.
Applying targeted biopsy technique through the perineum, prostate cancer patients are intervened in time and treated stably.
