Prostate Cancer Treatment in Europe

 

Prostate Cancer Treatment in Europe

 

Prostate cancer is one of the top five most common types of cancer. It affects the prostate tissue, especially in men after 50 years old, leading to an enlarged prostate.

An enlarged prostate will narrow the urinary tract, causing the patient to urinate more often but with a weaker urine stream. Unfortunately, this type of cancer does not have any symptoms, making it very hard to be detected in an incipient stage.

Depending on the disease's stage and the patient's condition there are several types of treatments and procedures that might show positive results.

Prostate cancer surgery:

• Cryosurgery
• Robotic (laparoscopic) prostatectomy
• Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)
• Radical or open prostatectomy

Radiation therapy:

• Proton therapy
• Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)
• Bachytherapy
• External-beam radiation therapy
