In a method for diagnosis and treatment of a patient with a tumor relating to prostate cancer, the following steps are implemented. A differential diagnosis of prostate cancer versus prostatitis and/or BPH is conducted on a patient using a cost-effective diagnosis method. If prostate cancer is diagnosed in the patient using a cost-effective measurement method, a characteristic value for the tumor aggressiveness of the prostate cancer is determined. A watchful waiting treatment is implemented with the patient given a characteristic value below a predeterminable first limit value. The size and position of the tumor is determined using a cost-effective method given a characteristic value above the first limit value. A cost-effective ultrasonic theranosis or a conventional therapy is conducted for a size below a second predeterminable limit value. The presence of metastases in the patient is checked, with a cost-intensive method generating image information, for a size above the second limit value. A metastasis treatment is implemented in the event that metastases are present. In the event that no metastases are present, a tumor treatment based on the aforementioned image information generated is implemented.

The invention relates to a method for increasing medicament carrying amount and entrapment rate of polymer micelles on an anti-tumor medicament by using hydrophobic molecules. The polymer micelles are prepared from amphipathilic polymer such as polyethylene glycol-phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PEG-DSPE) by a membrane hydration method, and the micelles can be used for wrapping insoluble or low water-soluble anti-tumor medicaments for chemotherapy of tumor.
