Interview with the doctor for \u201cAdesmeftos\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

What are the most advanced treatments available today?<\/h2>\n

With the rapid development of medical technology in recent years, the treatment of prostate cancer has evolved significantly<\/strong>, with the aim of achieving both effective cancer control and preservation of the patient\u2019s quality of life.<\/p>\n

1. Robotic Radical Prostatectomy (Da Vinci)<\/h3>\n

This is one of the most advanced surgical approaches available today. It offers greater precision during surgery, improved surgical control, reduced blood loss, faster recovery, and better preservation of erectile function and urinary continence compared with older surgical techniques<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

2. High-Precision Radiotherapy<\/h3>\n

Modern radiotherapy techniques include IMRT \/ VMAT<\/strong>, which allow highly conformal radiation delivery, as well as stereotactic radiotherapy<\/strong>, where high doses of radiation are delivered in a limited number of treatment sessions.<\/p>\n

The main advantage of these techniques is that they allow the tumour to be targeted very precisely while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.<\/p>\n

3. Prostate Brachytherapy<\/h3>\n

Brachytherapy involves the placement of small radioactive sources directly into the prostate.<\/p>\n

It can offer excellent outcomes in selected patients with localized low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer, while helping to preserve quality of life to the greatest possible extent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Active Surveillance<\/h3>\n

Active surveillance is an option for men with very early-stage, low-risk prostate cancer.<\/p>\n

It helps avoid unnecessary treatment<\/strong> while the disease is closely monitored through PSA testing, MRI scans and repeat biopsies when required.<\/p>\n

5. New-Generation Hormonal Therapies<\/h3>\n

For more advanced disease, modern androgen-receptor-targeted therapies are available<\/strong>, including apalutamide, enzalutamide and abiraterone.<\/p>\n

These treatments have significantly improved outcomes and survival for many patients with advanced prostate cancer.<\/p>\n

6. Focal Therapies<\/h3>\n

Focal therapies include treatments such as HIFU, cryotherapy and laser-based therapies, which aim to treat only the cancerous area of the prostate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

These approaches are used in carefully selected cases, with the goal of controlling the disease while preserving urinary and sexual function as much as possible.<\/p>\n

7. How important are family support and psychological support during treatment?<\/h3>\n

The role of family and psychological support is extremely important<\/strong> throughout every stage of prostate cancer treatment.<\/p>\n

A cancer diagnosis is often accompanied by anxiety, fear and uncertainty, which is why the patient\u2019s support network can make a significant difference<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Family support can help the patient maintain emotional stability, make informed decisions regarding treatment, adhere to the treatment plan and cope with possible side effects, such as fatigue or changes in sexual function.<\/p>\n

At the same time, psychological support<\/strong>, whether provided by a qualified psychologist or through support groups, can help patients manage anxiety and insecurity<\/strong>, cope with changes in body image and sexuality, maintain a more positive approach to treatment and improve their overall quality of life.<\/p>\n

Overall, emotional and psychological support should be considered an integral part of treatment<\/strong> \u2014 not merely an additional service, but an essential component of comprehensive care.<\/p>\n

8. What message would you like to give to men?<\/h3>\n

The most important message is that prostate cancer, when diagnosed early, is highly treatable.<\/p>\n

Do not wait for symptoms to appear.<\/p>\n

Speak to your doctor, undergo the appropriate preventive examinations and give yourself the advantage of early diagnosis.<\/p>\n

At the same time, take care of your overall health through a balanced diet, regular physical activity and avoiding smoking.<\/p>\n

Above all, do not neglect your health.<\/p>\n

Prevention remains one of our strongest tools against prostate cancer.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
