Smart radiotherapy in the treatment of prostate cancer

Dr Jereczek-Fossa speaks about radiotherapy treatment of prostate cancer and specifically the advances that have been made in smart technologies. Image guided radiotherapy allows the treatment to accurately target tumour cells and consequently allows much higher doses of radiation to be used. Dr Jereczek-Fossa talks about the choice patients must make between image guided radiotherapy and robotic surgery, outlining the advantages and disadvantages of each treatment and discusses the role of radiotherapy as an adjuvant treatment following surgery.

da Vinci Vinci® Prostatectomy offered by www.urologycure.com

Referred to by many as robotic surgery for prostate cancer or robotic prostatectomy, da Vinci® Prostatectomy is more accurately a robot-assisted, minimally invasive surgery that is quickly becoming the preferred treatment for removal of the prostate following early diagnosis of prostate cancer. In fact, studies suggest that da Vinci Prostatectomy may be the most effective, least invasive prostate surgery performed today. Contact us at www.urologycure.com for a consultation.

David Samadi, MD demonstrates the posterior part of the prostate, or Dennonviliers fascia, during a robotic radical prostatectomy. Dr. Samadi says that da Vinci robotic technology is the future of prostate cancer treatment. The increased range of motion and magnification are a few advantages of robotic surgery during prostatectomy nerve sparing procedures. Other urologists performing robotic prostate surgery include Drs. Peter Schlegel, Patrick Walsh, Darracott Vaughan, Mani Menon, Randy Fagin, Thomas Ahlering, Ash Tewari, Doug Scherr, and Domenico Savatta.
