Introduction to the Prostate Cancer Comprehensive Center

Latest data shows that prostate cancer has become one of the common malignant tumors among Chinese men. With increased screening awareness, more patients can be detected early and receive standardized treatment. HeYou Hospital has established a Prostate Cancer Multidisciplinary Center, integrating resources from Urology, Radiation Oncology, Medical Oncology, Imaging, Pathology, Nuclear Medicine, Ultrasound, Psychology, Nutrition, and Traditional Chinese Medicine to provide patients with one-stop services from screening, diagnosis, treatment to follow-up and rehabilitation.

The center is led by renowned domestic urology experts, in collaboration with international radiation oncology experts and senior in-house oncology specialists for multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment. All key treatment plans are formulated through MDT discussions, ensuring individualized, precise, and internationally compliant care.

Our focus extends beyond disease control to patients' quality of life, functional preservation, and long-term management, striving to provide every patient with clear, warm, and continuous comprehensive support alongside standardized treatment.

    • Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT)
    • Image-Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT)
    • Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)
    • Proton Therapy and Heavy Ion Therapy (for intermediate-to-high risk localized patients, patients with local recurrence, and high-demand patients seeking reduced side effects)
    a04_img2.jpg

    *The center's radiotherapy team is led by Professor Lu Jiade, equipped with internationally leading radiotherapy platforms, including Varian TrueBeam, HyperArC systems, and the upcoming Hitachi proton and heavy ion therapy system for clinical use. Together with an experienced team of medical physicists, we provide precise, personalized, high-dose-controlled radiotherapy with minimal side effects for patients.

  • Hormone (Endocrine) Therapy

    Suitable for patients with intermediate-risk, high-risk, locally advanced, and metastatic prostate cancer. It controls tumor progression by reducing androgen levels in the body. Common methods include:

    • Injectable GnRH Agonists/Antagonists
    • Oral Antiandrogen Drugs (e.g., Bicalutamide, Apalutamide, Enzalutamide)
    • Combined with Radiotherapy to Improve Cure Rate or Delay Disease Progression
    a04_img3.jpg
  • Chemotherapy and Targeted Therapy

    For patients with advanced metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), commonly used agents include:

    • Chemotherapy agents: Docetaxel, Cabazitaxel
    • Targeted agents: e.g., PARP inhibitors for BRCA-mutated patients
    • Radioligand therapy: e.g., ^177Lu-PSMA-617 and other emerging treatment strategies
    a04_img4.jpg

    *The oncology team at the Comprehensive Cancer Center, in conjunction with molecular pathology results, develops precise systemic treatment plans for patients to maximize survival extension while maintaining quality of life.

    a04_img5.jpg

    We advocate for "compassionate medical care," focusing on the patient's physical and mental state and quality of life, helping them receive maximum support throughout their disease journey.

Precision Imaging and Ancillary Examinations

Precise imaging examinations and pathological analysis are indispensable foundations in the prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment process, directly impacting disease detection, staging, risk assessment, and treatment plan formulation. HeYou Prostate Cancer Center is equipped with internationally leading imaging equipment and a professional technical team, ensuring every patient receives accurate and reliable diagnostic support from the very first step.

  • Multi-parametric Prostate MRI (mpMRI)
    a04_icon6.svg

    The center has introduced the Siemens 3.0T high-field magnetic resonance system, providing high-resolution multi-parametric MRI imaging, including T2-weighted imaging, DWI diffusion imaging, and dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging (DCE). It can accurately locate tumors, assess tumor volume, determine whether the capsule is breached, and whether the seminal vesicles are involved. mpMRI is also an important basis for precise biopsy and preoperative radiotherapy planning.

  • Positron Emission Tomography / Computed Tomography (PET/CT)
    a04_icon5.svg

    We are equipped with GE's latest-generation digital PET/CT system, which can be used for:

    • PSMA PET/CT: Assess tumor distribution, early metastases, and post-surgical or post-treatment recurrence

    • Bone metastasis evaluation: More sensitive and accurate than traditional bone scans

    PET/CT provides robust staging and treatment response monitoring for high-risk, advanced, or recurrent patients, serving as a critical tool for determining systemic therapy and radiotherapy fields.

  • Transrectal Ultrasound (TRUS)
    a04_icon6.svg

    Used to guide prostate biopsy, it is one of the important methods for diagnosis. TRUS can also be used to measure prostate volume, determine whether it is accompanied by Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), and is valuable in some preoperative evaluations.

  • Pathological Examination and Molecular Subtyping
    a04_icon5.svg

    The center has a team of senior pathologists responsible for Gleason scoring, assessment of invasion depth and lymph node metastasis in biopsy tissues and postoperative specimens. It can also perform molecular marker testing for AR, BRCA, MSI, etc., providing a basis for advanced precision medication.

  • Laboratory Tests and PSA Monitoring
    a04_icon5.svg

    Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and its related derived indicators (such as free PSA, PSA density, and PSA doubling time) are used throughout the full cycle of prostate cancer screening, diagnosis, efficacy assessment, and follow-up. The center employs a high-sensitivity fully automated detection platform to ensure accurate and timely data.

Psychological, Nutritional, and Traditional Chinese Medicine Support Services

At HeYou, we understand that prostate cancer treatment involves not only controlling the tumor itself but also the patient's overall health, psychological state, and quality of life. Therefore, the center has established a "Holistic Patient Care System" composed of multidisciplinary support teams including Psychology, Nutrition, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, providing comprehensive care for patients and their families.

  • a04_img6.jpg

    Psychological Support

    The cancer diagnosis, treatment, and recovery process is often accompanied by psychological distress such as anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Prostate cancer patients, in particular, may face challenges including sexual dysfunction and diminished identity. Our professional psychologists will provide:

    • Individual Psychological Assessment and Counseling
    • Family and Partner Support Intervention
    • Group Therapy or Meditation and Relaxation Training

    To help patients better adapt to the disease, enhance treatment confidence, and improve coping abilities.

  • a04_img7.jpg

    Nutrition Guidance

    Nutritional status significantly impacts treatment tolerance, recovery speed, and immune function. The Nutrition Department will develop individualized nutrition plans based on the patient's weight, performance status, and treatment modality, including:

    • Anti-tumor nutritional support (e.g., high-protein, high-calorie diet)
    • Dietary recommendations for special periods (e.g., during chemotherapy or hormone therapy)
    • Management of metabolic issues (e.g., weight changes and abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism caused by hormone therapy)

    Provide patients with a scientific dietary plan that ensures "good eating, good absorption, and fast recovery."

  • a04_img8.jpg

    Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Regulation

    Traditional Chinese Medicine has unique advantages in alleviating side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, enhancing immunity, and relieving fatigue. Following the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment, our TCM team provides:

    • Personalized Chinese herbal decoctions or tea substitutes
    • Acupuncture, Tuina, and other adjunctive therapies
    • Comprehensive post-treatment rehabilitation plans

    Helping patients achieve physical and mental harmony and recovery during treatment.
    Through a trinity of psychological, nutritional, and TCM support services, HeYou Hospital Prostate Cancer Specialty Center is dedicated to building a comprehensive care system that not only treats the disease but also cares for the "person as a whole."
