Objective: Prostate cancer is a form of cancer that develops in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system.Prostate cancer tends to develop in men over the age of fifty; it is one of the most prevalent types of cancer in men.This article introduced a new method of prostate cancer treatment with the combination of three dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) and high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), its efficacy was evaluated.Methods: From January 2004 to December 2009, 95 patients were diagnosed with prostate cancer, among them, 48 patients were received combined therapy with total irradiation of TD 60 Gy/30 Fx and 5 fractions of HIFU treatment, while 47 patients were received with pure 3D-CRT with total irradiation of TD (66-72) Gy/(33-36) Fx.Various indicators were evaluated, such as the local control rate and distant metastasis rate, the changes in blood PSA and fPSA, changes in T-lymphocyte subsets and NK cells, as well as acute adverse reaction of normal tissue.Results: The local response rate difference between the two groups had statistical significance (P < 0.05); the changes in blood PSA and fPSA were significant (P < 0.05); CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+/CD8+ and NK cells of the combined group increased obviously (P 0.05); the combined group had lower blood cells reduction and II-level acute adverse reaction of rectum, bladder and caput humeri than the pure group, but the II-level acute adverse reaction of urogenital canal in the combined group was higher (P < 0.05).Conclusion: The combined therapy with 3D-CRT and HIFU is a good way for the treatment of aged-related prostate cancer.It can ease the symptoms, control the disease and lengthen the survival time.
