Know about Prostate Cancer:

Today I would like to speak to you about prostate cancer. Now Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers occurring in men above the age of 50 years. It is especially more common in African Americans in Africans and certain part of the world.  So this is a very lethal cancer especially if it occurs at the 50 years or 40 years or 60 years, in ages above 80 years it is not so lethal but in younger age groups it can be life taking cancer.

So what should we do about it?

Now there are certain blood tests like PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen), and which can be done in every country in every lab. And this is a very simple blood test and it can help you in diagnosis of prostate cancer, so if person is above the age of 50 years, or if there is strong family history of prostate cancer one should get themselves tested for PSA and also visit their Urologist for a local examination of the prostate to know whether the patient is suffering from prostate cancer or not.

Now once the patient is diagnosed for prostate cancer then the treatment options are decided by the stage of the prostate cancer. Stage meaning whether it is stage one, stage two, stage three or stage four. Now for stage four, options for treatment are very limited. For stage three the options again are predominately non-surgical but for stage one and two the one of the best treatment options is Robotic Surgery.

 what do we mean by Robotic Prostate Surgery in India?

We mean that we make small holes inside the tummy of the patient we attached, we put some instrument, and we attached robots with these instruments, it is not like that the robot is doing the surgery, but it is the surgeon who is controlling the robot the robot helps the surgeon in  achieving precise results. So for precise removal of the cancer with preservations of certain vital structures like nerves that causes erection.  Now if these nerves are sacrificed then the person loses its erection for life.  But using robotic surgery we can preserve these nerves in selected cases off course the case has to be an early one it can’t be an advanced prostate cancer where we can’t preserve the nerves, if it is an early prostate cancer then we can preserve the nerves and we can assure the patient that they can resume their normal sexual activity in few months’ time.

So by doing robotic surgery we can ensure complete removal of cancer, can ensure best possible surgical outcome in terms of control urination in terms of return to work in terms of return of sexual activity. Hence robotic surgery is the most preferred mode of surgical management of prostate cancer.
