Private Health Hospital Urology Specialist Assoc. Dr. Erem Asil stated that prostate cancer, one of the most common types of cancer in men, can be completely cured thanks to early diagnosis.
Pointing out that prostate cancer does not always give symptoms, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Erem Asil said, “Frequent urination, burning in urine, bleeding or blood in semen are the complaints we encounter in prostate cancer. There may be no complaints in the early stages of the disease. In case of a high PSA value for screening purposes, we first perform multiparametric prostate MR imaging; if a suspicious lesion is detected in MR, we finalise the diagnosis with MR fusion prostate biopsy.”
emphasising that it is very important for men over 50 years of age to have a PSA test once a year, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Asil said, “In men with a family history of prostate cancer, these screenings should start at the age of 45. Prostate cancer diagnosed early is a completely curable disease today. Controls performed before the symptoms appear save lives.”
MORE COMFORTABLE AND SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT WITH ROBOTIC SURGERY
Stating that modern methods have come to the fore in the treatment of prostate cancer, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Erem Asil emphasised that robotic surgery both increases the success of surgery and protects the quality of life of patients.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Asil continued as follows: “Robotic surgery is a high-precision surgical method performed through small incisions. It allows complex operations to be performed safely by exceeding the limits of traditional open or laparoscopic surgery. Thanks to the small incision, trauma and blood loss in the patient is minimised; the healing process is accelerated and the person returns to normal life in a shorter time. As Private Health Hospital within Gözde Group, we perform prostate cancer surgeries with high success rates thanks to this advanced technology.”
