Description
Estimated cost for Radical Prostatectomy at general public hospitals in China is about ¥24500-36000, and at Grade 3A hospitals about ¥35000-45000, varying by hospital tier and region.
Main Uses
The primary purpose of Radical Prostatectomy is to treat localized prostate cancer by removing the entire prostate gland along with some surrounding tissue and lymph nodes. This procedure is typically recommended for men with early-stage prostate cancer who are in good overall health and have a life expectancy of at least 10 years.
Normal Range
Radical Prostatectomy is a surgical procedure, not a test with numerical values or ranges. It aims to completely remove the prostate gland and surrounding tissues. Success is measured by the absence of cancer cells in follow-up tests, such as PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) levels, which should be undetectable or very low (<0.2 ng/mL) post-surgery.
Low Values - Possible Causes
N/A - Radical Prostatectomy does not produce a value that can be considered 'low'. However, a low PSA level after surgery is expected and indicates successful removal of the cancer.
High Values - Possible Causes
N/A - Radical Prostatectomy does not produce a value that can be considered 'high'. A high PSA level after surgery may indicate residual or recurrent disease.
