Early Liver Cancer and Prostate Cancer are Hard to Detect! Do not ignore the appearance of these warning signs and seek “a second professional opinion” for a better chance of combating cancer cells.

Liver disease often lacks noticeable symptoms in its early stages, but when issues manifest, they often progress to an advanced stage. Annually, more than 10,000 individuals in the nation succumb to this condition, ranking it as the second most common cause of cancer-related fatalities. The Health Promotion Administration strongly encourages citizens to undergo preventive health screenings at least once per year! Dr. Heng-Rui Zhang, Chief of Radiation Oncology Department, Long-Tan Min-Sheng Hospital, further notes that in addition to liver disease being hard to detect, the early symptoms of prostate cancer are similar to those of benign prostate enlargement, including frequent urination, nighttime urination, and incomplete urination. This similarity makes it difficult for many men to notice.

Regarding treatment methods, aside from surgery and radiation therapy, Dr. Chang indicates that the current “next-generation androgen deprivation therapy” can overcome treatment limitations. This therapy has even helped an elderly man nearing 90 years of age reduce his cancer marker PSA level to below 1. Dr. Chang reminds all cancer patients that even though there are constraints and limitations in treating stage IV cancer, with precise treatment and a well-planned regimen, controlling the number of cancer cells in the body can slow down their proliferation rate and effectively extend survival.
