Advanced Urological Care: Tailored Approaches in Diagnosis, Treatment, and Survivorship
Prostate cancer originates in the prostate, a small gland shaping male reproductive fluid. While often slow-growing and localized, some aggressive types can spread rapidly. Detecting prostate cancer early, while it remains within the gland, enhances treatment success. Symptoms may include urination issues, blood in urine/semen, bone pain, and weight loss. The disease's cause is linked to DNA changes within prostate cells, driving abnormal growth and invasion. The resulting tumors can metastasize to distant body parts. As one of the most prevalent cancers, awareness, and timely screening are crucial for effective management and treatment outcomes.
Potential complications of prostate cancer and its treatments include
Metastasis Risk: Prostate cancer can metastasize to distant organs, bones, and more
Incontinence: Urinary issues can arise from cancer or its treatments
Erectile Dysfunction: Treatment side effects may lead to erectile dysfunction
Bone Pain: Metastatic prostate cancer can cause painful bone involvement
Reduced Quality of Life: Complications impact daily living and well-being
Prostate Cancer Treatment: Choices and Considerations
Active Surveillance: Monitoring for slow-growing cancers without immediate treatment
Surgery: Radical prostatectomy to remove cancer and surrounding tissue
Radiation Therapy: External or internal radiation to target cancer cells
Ablative Therapies: Freezing or heating techniques for localized cancers
Hormone Therapy: Suppressing testosterone to slow cancer growth
Chemotherapy: Drugs to treat advanced cancers or hormone-resistant cases
Immunotherapy: Boosting immune response to target cancer cells
Targeted Drug Therapy: Precision treatments blocking cancer-specific abnormalities
Complementary Approaches: Alternative techniques to cope with cancer-related distress
Precision Procedures for Treating Prostate Cancer
Radical Prostatectomy: Complete removal of the prostate gland
Laparoscopic Surgery: Minimally invasive approach using small incisions
Robotic-Assisted Prostatectomy: Precision surgery with robotic technology
Open Retropubic Prostatectomy: Traditional abdominal incision technique
Perineal Prostatectomy: Incision made between the scrotum and anus
