What is the best treatment for prostate cancer?

The choice of treatment for prostate cancer will depend on multiple factors, such as:

  • The type of cancer
  • The stage at which it is detected.
  • The individual health characteristics of each patient.

Remember that the ideal treatment for each patient will depend on their individual characteristics and evolution; therefore, the best choice of treatment for prostate cancer will be made under the direct advice of a Urologist specializing in Oncology.

Our goal will always be an accurate and timely diagnosis to offer the best treatment alternative that safeguards the integrity and quality of life of our patient.

1. Active surveillance

In some cases, especially when the cancer is small and slow-growing, it is not necessary to treat it immediately.

Your urologist oncologist will perform close monitoring with blood tests, imaging studies, and periodic check-ups. This way, they can decide the best time to perform any other type of intervention for the treatment of prostate cancer.

2. Surgery (Radical Prostatectomy)

Radical Prostatectomy (surgical removal of the prostate) is the best treatment for prostate cancer in patients who present one or more of the following conditions:

  • Localized tumors
  • Aggressive prostate cancer

Currently, it can be performed using minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopy or robotic surgery), which help achieve a faster recovery.

3. Other treatments for prostate cancer

In cases with specific medical conditions, treatments such as radiotherapy, hormone therapy, and chemotherapy take place.

An evaluation by a Urologist specializing in Oncology will be essential to determine if you are a candidate for any of these treatments, as some of them are only applied to patients who already have an advanced stage of the disease.
