my father has a prostate cancer. the doctor of my father suggested him for TURP surgery. when sonography result shown sole in urine bladder. I want your advice & guide. if I will go for surgery. is there change for spread of cancer quickly in whole body.
Firstly, localized prostate cancer is not treated by TURN. It requires a much more major surgery in which you remove the entire prostate and part of the urinary bladder. Radiotherapy is another option which is equally good in terms of tumor control. If however, it is not localized and has spread already then the TURN is probably being done only to allow him to pass urine and not to control his disease in which case your concern of the tumor spreading becomes redundant. Either way, the TURN will do nothing to change the course of your fathers disease, and you should discuss treatment options for the same based on stage.
