Abstract: Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors of male genitourinary system, which is prone to bone metastasis, and bone-related events caused by bone metastasis are an important cause of death of prostate cancer patients. The treatment of bone metastasis of prostate cancer is very difficult, which seriously threatens the health of elderly men. Western medicine has made rapid progress in the use of endocrine therapy, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, pain relief and other treatments, with clear curative effects, but there are also corresponding toxic side effects, such as hot flashes, night sweats, gastrointestinal reactions, bone pain and so on, which greatly reduce the quality of life of patients. Chinese medicine is the treasure of Chinese traditional culture. It shows certain advantages in enhancing efficiency and reducing toxicity, alleviating clinical symptoms and improving the quality of life of patients, and can make up for the shortcomings of Western medicine. The treatment of prostatic bone metastases by the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is more scientific and perfect.
