Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent types
of cancer in men, yet many men never have any symptoms. In fact, this
type of cancer can cause no symptoms for many years. Prostate cancer is
often detected during a routine examination. UAMS can help you from the
diagnosis to the treatment of prostate cancer.
Most of the men diagnosed with prostate cancer are more than
65 years old. Your diet and lifestyle can increase your risk of getting
prostate cancer along with your family history.
Our compassionate doctors at UAMS can give you the care you
need once diagnosed. An important part of the process is determining the
stage of the cancer, which can be done in several ways:
- Bone scan
- Ultrasound
- CT scan
- MRI
- Lymph node
- Biopsy
At
UAMS, we will help you get the best treatment for your condition. The
treatment for prostate cancer will depend on what kind of cancer cells
you have and how far they have spread. Your age and overall well-being
will also influence the treatment. Treatments include:
- Surgery
- Radiation
- Hormone therapy
- Combination of these
Our
caring doctors are knowledgeable about the latest surgical techniques.
And our surgeons are among the few highly qualified surgeons in the
state to offer robot-assisted surgeries.
