Prostate Cancer Treatment
Advanced treatment and personalized care by Dr. Rohit Pai
Introduction to Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men. It develops in the prostate gland, which is part of the male reproductive system. With early detection and advanced treatment options, prostate cancer can often be successfully treated, especially when caught in its early stages.
Understanding Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer typically develops slowly and initially remains confined to the prostate gland. While some types of prostate cancer grow slowly and may need minimal or no treatment, other types are aggressive and can spread quickly. Understanding the type and stage of prostate cancer is crucial for determining the most effective treatment approach.
