Prostate Cancer
What is Prostate Cancer?
Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the prostate — a small gland found only in men, located just below the bladder. The prostate’s main job is to help make the fluid that carries sperm.
While many prostate cancers grow slowly and may not cause serious harm, some can grow quickly and spread to other parts of the body if not treated early. Regular check-ups help catch prostate cancer early, when treatment works best.
Your Guide to Prostate Cancer
-Changes (damage) in prostate cells
-Lack of Exercise
-Obesity
-Chronic inflammation
-Unhealthy lifestyle
-Exposure to certain chemicals or pollutants
Early stages often show no signs, but as the disease progresses, symptoms may include:
-Frequent need to urinate, especially at night
-Weak or slow urine stream
-Pain or burning during urination
-Blood in urine or semen
-Erectile dysfunction (trouble getting or keeping an erection)
-Pain in the lower back, hips, or pelvis
Treatment depends on the stage and location of the tumor. Options include:
-Robotic-Assisted Surgery (Prostatectomy)
-Targeted therapy or immunotherapy
-Chemotherapy
-Radiation Therapy
-Hormone therapy
Adenocarcinoma:
-Begins in the glandular cells of the prostate, which are responsible for making the fluid in semen.
-Most common type of prostate cancer, accounting for the majority of cases.
-Typically grows slowly and may not show symptoms early, often detected through regular screening.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma:
-Begins in the squamous cells (flat, thin cells) that line the prostate.
-Rare and often aggressive, tends to grow and spread quickly.
-Often associated with advanced prostate cancer, especially in cases where the cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
What is Robotic Surgery for Prostate Cancer?
Prostate cancer robotic surgery is a minimally invasive treatment in which the prostate gland is carefully removed by the surgeon using a specialised robotic equipment.
With its increased precision, smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, and quicker recovery, robotic surgery presents significant benefits for the treatment of prostate cancer.
The surgeon controls robotic arms from a console, guiding delicate instruments with enhanced accuracy to carefully remove the prostate while protecting surrounding nerves and tissues. This approach helps improve cancer outcomes and speeds up the patient’s return to daily life.
Why Robotic Surgery?
Faster Recovery Time
Low Risk of Infection
Lesser Scars
Less Discomfort After Surgery
Shorter Hospital Stay
Speedier Return to Daily Life

Commonly Asked Questions
It’s usually diagnosed through a PSA blood test, a rectal exam, and confirmed by a prostate biopsy.
Yes, when performed by an experienced surgeon, robotic prostate surgery is considered very safe and effective.
There’s a risk, but robotic surgery aims to protect the nerves responsible for these functions as much as possible.
No — treatment depends on the stage, age, and health of the patient. Some early-stage cases can be monitored (active surveillance), while others need surgery or radiation
