New Cancer Treatment

Posts Tagged ‘prostate’

Over 200000 American men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. The New England Journal of Medicine has just released a new study showing the long-term benefits of two different common methods of prostate cancer treatment, watchful waiting and surgical prostate removal (most commonly done now through a procedure called a robotic prostatectomy). Dr. David Samadi, member of the Fox News Medical “A-Team” and Vice Chair of Urology at Mt. Sinai Hospital in NYC, discusses this study and the role that robotic surgery can play in preventing deaths due to prostate cancer. Watchful waiting is a technique used by doctors where prostate cancer indicators, such as PSA levels, are used to monitor a patient’s risk of developing an aggressive form of the disease. In many cases prostate cancer is slow growing, and treatment may not be necessary as the cancer will never progress to a life-threatening point. Robotic prostate surgery takes a different approach to treatment, removing the prostate entirely from the body to eliminate all traces of the cancer. The study released by the NEJM shows that there is a large survival benefit for those who choose prostate removal as a treatment option; with a 38% lower risk of death versus watchful waiting. This is very important news for individuals who are deciding on an appropriate treatment method. With advancements in prostate surgery due to newer robotic methods, patients often don’t experience many of the side-effects associated with …

Dr. David Samadi discusses the benefits of robotic-assisted prostate cancer surgery on Good Day New York. Also referred to as a robotic prostatectomy, the surgery treats prostate cancer by removing the prostate from the patient’s body. Advancements in robotics technology have allowed for this to be done with major benefits over traditional open and laparoscopic treatment options, including shorter operation times, shorter hospital stays, minimal blood loss, and less risk to the delicate nerves around the prostate that control continence and sexual function.

Lack of data clouds prostate Ca screening. : An article from: Internal Medicine News

Product Description
The task of choosing the right prostate cancer treatment is daunting. It is further complicated by conflicting information the patient receives from physicians and the Internet. This book is written by a prostate cancer survivor who now runs an international prostate cancer support group. It’s about his journey and the important things he learned along the way. It is the book the author wishes had been available when he was diagnosed 6 years ago. It is intended to provide specific information for men who are at risk or have been recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. All major treatment options are examined and the pros and cons of each are summarized. A relatively new, non-invasive, highly effective treatment is highlighted. It is an option that cures cancer as well as any other option, but generally leaves the patient with a higher quality of life and fewer, if any, side effects. This book has been endorsed by several physicians as well as other highly respected people from all walks of life.

You Can Beat Prostate Cancer

Description
Robotic systems were first used to remove prostate cancer, then adapted for kidney cancer and bladder cancer procedures, which are more complex because of the variation in surgical anatomy, size and shape of tumors. The benefits of robotic surgery for a patient include decreased blood loss, nerve sparing and shorter hospital stay. This talk will focus on the latest advances in robotic surgery for the treatment of these cancers.
