Understanding Prostate Cancer
In order to explore the various treatment options, it is essential to have a basic understanding of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the prostate gland, a small walnut-shaped gland in men that produces seminal fluid. It is one of the most common types of cancer among men, but with the right treatment approach, it can be effectively managed and treated.
Prostate Cancer Treatment Approaches
When it comes to treating prostate cancer, there are several approaches available. The selection of the most suitable treatment option depends on various factors, including the stage of cancer, overall health of the individual, and personal preferences. At Sibel Blau, we offer a range of treatment options that are tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient.
Surgery
Surgery is a common treatment approach for localized prostate cancer. The main goal of surgery is to remove the cancerous prostate gland and any surrounding tissues that may be affected. Our skilled surgeons utilize advanced techniques, such as robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy, to ensure precision and minimize the risk of complications.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy involves the use of high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells or halt their growth. It can be used as a primary treatment option or in combination with other treatments. At Sibel Blau, we offer both external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy, a type of internal radiation therapy, to effectively target and treat prostate cancer.
Hormone Therapy
Hormone therapy aims to suppress or block the production of male hormones, specifically testosterone, which can fuel the growth of prostate cancer cells. It is often used in combination with other treatments, such as radiation therapy or surgery, to enhance their effectiveness. Our team closely monitors hormone levels and adjusts treatment plans accordingly to ensure optimal outcomes.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy utilizes powerful drugs to destroy cancer cells throughout the body. While it is not typically the first-line treatment for localized prostate cancer, it may be recommended for advanced cases or when cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Our experienced oncologists at Sibel Blau are well-versed in the latest advancements in chemotherapy and work closely with patients to develop personalized treatment strategies.
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy, also known as biologic therapy, harnesses the body's immune system to fight against cancer cells. It works by stimulating the immune system to target and destroy cancer cells more effectively. At Sibel Blau, we offer cutting-edge immunotherapies that have shown promising results in the treatment of prostate cancer.
Supportive Care and Survivorship
At Sibel Blau, we understand that prostate cancer treatment is not just about eliminating cancer but also about supporting patients throughout the journey. We provide comprehensive supportive care services to manage treatment side effects, address emotional well-being, and enhance the overall quality of life for our patients. Our multidisciplinary team is committed to helping survivors navigate life after prostate cancer treatment.
