Why Choose ACIBADEM For
Prostate Cancer Surgery?

Prostate cancer is a serious health issue affecting millions of men globally. It is one of the most common cancers in men, occurring in the prostate gland. This gland is small, shaped like a walnut, and vital for male reproductive health. Even though prostate cancer often grows slowly, it can greatly affect a man’s health and life quality. Acıbadem Healthcare Group is a top choice for this surgery in Turkey.

Early detection is critical for treating prostate cancer effectively. The PSA test, which checks blood for prostate-specific antigen, is a common screening tool. If the PSA levels are high, more tests may be needed to confirm cancer.

Knowing the different treatment options for prostate cancer is important. Each treatment plan is made for the individual, considering the cancer’s stage, age, and health. Options range from active surveillance for slow-growing tumors to more aggressive treatments like surgery and radiation therapy.

By staying informed about prostate health, recognizing symptoms, and getting regular screenings, men can catch prostate cancer early. This increases their chances of successful treatment. In the next sections, we will explore prostate cancer in more detail, including its development, risk factors, diagnosis, staging, and treatment options.

Prostate cancer’s exact causes are not known. But, several risk factors have been found. These include age, family history, race, ethnicity, and diet and lifestyle choices.

Treatment Options For Localized Prostate Cancer

Men with localized prostate cancer have several treatment options. These choices depend on the cancer’s stage, grade, age, health, and personal preferences. The main goal is to treat the cancer well while keeping side effects low and quality of life high.

Active Surveillance
Active surveillance means watching the cancer closely without starting treatment right away. It’s often suggested for men with low-risk, slow-growing tumors. Regular tests and biopsies track the cancer’s growth. If the cancer grows fast or spreads, treatment will start.
Radical Prostatectomy
Radical prostatectomy is a surgery to remove the prostate gland and nearby tissues. It’s often chosen for younger men with early cancer. The surgery can be done in a few ways, including traditional or robotic-assisted methods.
Radiation Therapy and Brachytherapy
Radiation therapy kills cancer cells in the prostate using high-energy beams. There are two types: external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and brachytherapy. Brachytherapy places radioactive seeds in the prostate. These treatments are used for early cancers or with other therapies for more advanced cases.

Treatment Options For Advanced Prostate Cancer

Men with advanced prostate cancer have several treatment options. These treatments aim to slow the cancer’s growth and ease symptoms. The right treatment depends on the cancer’s stage, the patient’s health, and personal choices.

Androgen Deprivation Therapy
ADT is a key treatment for advanced prostate cancer. It lowers male hormones, called androgens, in the body. This helps slow the cancer’s growth. ADT can be given through injections, implants, or pills, and may be used with other treatments.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy uses medicines to kill fast-growing cancer cells. It’s often used when the cancer has spread and hormone therapy doesn’t work. Chemotherapy can control the cancer but may cause side effects like fatigue and hair loss.
Targeted Therapies
Targeted therapies are newer treatments that focus on cancer cells while protecting healthy cells. They target specific molecules or pathways in cancer cells.

How Is The Prostate Cancer Surgery Process at Acıbadem Hospitals?

Prostate Cancer Research and Advancements

Researchers are making big steps in prostate cancer research. They are working on new treatments and improving old ones. Many clinical trials are testing new medicines, immunotherapies, and targeted therapies. These aim to give patients better and more personal treatment options at all disease stages.

One exciting area is precision medicine. It means treatments are made just for each patient based on their genes and tumor. Doctors look at a patient’s tumor genes to find specific mutations or biomarkers. This helps guide treatment choices, aiming for better results and fewer side effects.

Researchers are also looking into using the immune system to fight prostate cancer. Immunotherapies, like checkpoint inhibitors and CAR T-cell therapy, are being tested. They help the body’s natural defenses to better spot and attack cancer cells.

As research keeps moving forward, patients can look forward to better treatments. By joining clinical trials and supporting research, patients and families help push for better outcomes. They are key to finding a cure for prostate cancer.
