Who Is This Surgery Suitable For?
Radical prostatectomy is one of the most effective treatment options for men with localised prostate cancer, meaning the cancer is confined to the prostate gland and certain men with locally advanced prostate cancer, meaning cancer that has breached the gland but has not gone in any other parts. The aim of the surgery is to remove the prostate, and if necessary, surrounding tissue to ensure complete cancer removal while preserving vital functions such as urinary control and sexual health.
This surgery is often recommended for patients diagnosed with localised prostate cancer, particularly those with more aggressive forms that require definitive treatment. As well as, some men with locally advanced prostate cancer. It is also an option for men seeking the best possible chance of long-term remission.
However, not every case of prostate cancer requires surgery. Dr Calleja carefully assesses each patient’s individual circumstances before recommending the most appropriate treatment. His decision is based on several factors, including the aggressiveness of the cancer (determined by the Gleason score and PSA levels), the patient’s overall health and age, as well as personal preferences and lifestyle considerations.
