Prostate Cancer Treatment Hospital in Bangalore

What is prostate cancer?

The prostate is a small gland located below the bladder in men and plays an important role in producing seminal fluid. Prostate cancer develops when abnormal cells in the prostate gland start growing uncontrollably. In many cases, prostate cancer grows slowly and remains confined to the prostate for years. However, aggressive prostate cancer can spread to lymph nodes, bones, and other organs if not diagnosed and treated in time.

Because early prostate cancer often shows no symptoms, many patients in Bangalore are diagnosed at intermediate or advanced stages, making specialised treatment planning extremely important.

Why does prostate cancer occur?

There is no single cause of prostate cancer, but several risk factors increase the chances of developing the disease:

• Age above 50 years
• Family history of prostate cancer
• Hormonal influence, especially testosterone
• Unhealthy diet high in fat and processed foods
• Obesity and lack of physical activity
• Genetic mutations and chronic inflammation

Stages of prostate cancer

• Stage I: Cancer confined to the prostate
• Stage II: Tumour larger but still localised
• Stage III: Cancer spread outside the prostate
• Stage IV: Cancer spread to bones or distant organs

Common symptoms of prostate cancer

Symptoms usually appear in later stages and may include:

• Difficulty starting or stopping urination
• Weak urine flow or frequent urination at night
• Pain or burning sensation while urinating
• Blood in urine or semen
• Pelvic, hip, or lower back pain
• Erectile dysfunction
• Unexplained weight loss and fatigue

How prostate cancer is diagnosed

Patients in Bangalore can complete diagnostic tests locally and share reports online for expert review by Fuda specialists:

• PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) blood test
• Digital Rectal Examination (DRE)
• MRI of the prostate
• Prostate biopsy
• Bone scan or PET-CT in advanced cases

Why many patients are not suitable for surgery

• Advanced or metastatic prostate cancer
• High surgical risk due to age or other medical conditions
• Fear of urinary incontinence or sexual dysfunction
• Poor overall health or organ function
• Personal preference to avoid major surgery

Advanced non-surgical prostate cancer treatments at Fuda

NanoKnife (Irreversible Electroporation)

NanoKnife uses controlled electrical pulses to destroy prostate cancer cells without heat. It preserves nearby nerves and blood vessels, making it suitable for tumours close to sensitive structures and reducing treatment-related complications.

Cryotherapy (Cryosurgical Ablation)

Cryotherapy destroys prostate cancer cells by freezing them. It involves minimal blood loss, shorter recovery time, and is often used for localised or recurrent prostate cancer.

Brachytherapy

Brachytherapy places radioactive sources directly inside or near the prostate, delivering high-dose radiation to cancer cells while limiting damage to surrounding tissues.

Hormone Therapy

Hormone therapy reduces testosterone levels that fuel prostate cancer growth. It is commonly used in advanced or recurrent cases.

Combined Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy strengthens the body’s immune system to recognise and attack prostate cancer cells. It may be combined with other minimally invasive treatments to improve disease control and quality of life.
