According to the American Cancer Society, up to 299,010 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in 2024. Treatments vary and include chemotherapy, hormone therapy, ablative therapy, immunotherapy, targeted drug therapy, radiation, and robotic prostate surgery.
Advances in robotic prostate surgery are making it easier for patients to recover. About one in eight men in the US will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. Most of these patients undergo surgery to remove the cancerous tumor.
Surgery is a common option for many men, especially if the cancer is in the prostate. Medical innovation has improved cancer removal surgeries. There is now an update on the robotic prostatectomy procedure.
Instead of all the instruments entering through separate needles, they enter through a single incision, and then the robot can branch into the abdomen and remove the prostate.
Patients have faster recovery and less pain with the single-robot procedure.
Other prostate cancer treatment options may include:
Radiotherapy.
Ablative treatments.
Hormonal disorders.
Chemotherapy.
Physical therapy.
Targeted drug therapy.
