What is Prostate Cancer?

Prostate cancer develops in the prostate gland, a small gland located below the bladder in men. In many cases, prostate cancer grows slowly and may not cause symptoms in early stages. However, aggressive forms can spread quickly if not diagnosed and treated promptly.

Symptoms of Prostate Cancer

Early-stage prostate cancer may not show noticeable symptoms. As the disease progresses, patients may experience:

• Difficulty in starting or stopping urination
• Weak urine flow
• Frequent urination, especially at night
• Blood in urine or semen
• Pain in the lower back, hips, or pelvis
• Erectile dysfunction

If you experience any of these symptoms, consult a specialist immediately for evaluation.

Early detection plays a vital role in successful treatment. Our hospital offers comprehensive screening and diagnostic services, including

PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) Test

A blood test that measures PSA levels to detect possible abnormalities.

Digital Rectal Examination (DRE)

A physical examination to assess the prostate gland.

Advanced Prostate Cancer Treatment Options

Treatment depends on the stage, grade, and overall health of the patient. Our hospital offers:

• Active Surveillance: For early, slow-growing cancers where regular monitoring is sufficient.
• Minimally Invasive & Robotic Surgery: Removal of the prostate gland using advanced surgical techniques to reduce complications and speed up recovery.
• Radiation Therapy: External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) and Brachytherapy (internal radiation).
• Hormone Therapy: Also called androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), this reduces levels of male hormones (androgens) to slow the growth of cancer.
• Chemotherapy: Uses powerful drugs to kill rapidly growing cancer cells. Often used when the cancer has spread outside the prostate.
• Immunotherapy: Boosts the body’s immune system to help fight cancer cells more effectively.
• Targeted Therapy: Focuses on specific genetic mutations or proteins that contribute to cancer growth, offering a more personalized treatment.
