Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is a common form of cancer that affects men, particularly those over the age of 50. It is caused by the abnormal growth of cells in the prostate gland, which is responsible for producing semen. It is slow-growing cancer that can take years to develop. Prostate cancer typically does not produce any symptoms in the early stages. Fortunately, with early detection and proper treatment, the chances of survival are high. There are two main types of prostate cancer: adenocarcinoma and neuroendocrine tumours. Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of prostate cancer and develops in the gland cells. Neuroendocrine tumours are rare and develop in the hormone-producing cells of the prostate.
Treatment Options
At our hospital, we offer a range of treatment options for prostate cancer, including:
Surgery: Surgery may be recommended to remove the prostate gland and any cancerous cells. This is typically done in the early stages of cancer.
Radiation Therapy: Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells. This may be recommended alone or in combination with other treatments.
Hormone Therapy: Hormone therapy is used to block the production of testosterone, which can fuel the growth of prostate cancer cells.
Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. This may be used if cancer has spread beyond the prostate.
Advantages:
One of the primary advantages of receiving prostate cancer treatment at our hospital is our state-of-the-art technology and equipment. We have the latest technology in radiation therapy, including advanced imaging systems and robotic-assisted radiation therapy, which can provide precise and accurate treatment while minimising the risk of side effects.
Our surgical team is also highly experienced in performing minimally invasive procedures, such as laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery. These procedures typically result in less pain, less scarring, and a faster recovery time for the patient.
In addition to our advanced technology and surgical techniques, we also offer a range of support services for patients undergoing treatment for prostate cancer. These services include nutrition counselling, psychological support, and complementary therapies such as acupuncture and massage therapy.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition that affects many older men. It is caused by an enlargement of the prostate gland, which can cause symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty urinating, and urinary incontinence.
Treatments Options
Watchful waiting: This is a “wait-and-see” approach for mild cases of BPH where symptoms are not bothersome.
Medications: There are several medications available that can relieve BPH symptoms. Alpha-blockers and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors are commonly prescribed.
Minimally invasive procedures: These procedures are performed under local anaesthesia and include transurethral microwave therapy (TUMT), transurethral needle ablation (TUNA), and laser therapy. They help reduce the size of the prostate gland and improve urine flow.
Surgery: In severe cases, surgery may be required. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and open prostatectomy are the most common surgical procedures used to treat BPH.
Advantages
One of the primary advantages of receiving BPH treatment at our hospital is our use of minimally invasive procedures. These procedures include transurethral microwave therapy, transurethral needle ablation, and laser therapy, which can effectively treat BPH with less risk of complications and a faster recovery time for the patient.
We also offer a range of support services for patients undergoing treatment for BPH, including bladder retraining, Kegel exercises, and lifestyle modifications such as dietary changes and exercise.
At our hospital, we understand the importance of managing prostate treatment with care and compassion. We offer access to specialists in urology, radiation oncology, medical oncology, and surgery. We also offer a range of educational resources for patients and their families, including information on prostate health, treatment options, and support services available at our hospital. In addition to our commitment to personalised care, our hospital also has a strong track record of success in prostate treatment. Our team of healthcare professionals is highly trained and experienced in providing effective treatment for prostate cancer and BPH, and we have a proven track record of achieving successful outcomes for our patients.
