Prostate Cancer Treatment Hospital in Jaipur

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 occurs when abnormal cells in the prostate begin to grow uncontrollably. In many men, prostate cancer grows slowly and may not cause problems for years. However, aggressive forms can spread to lymph nodes, bones, and other organs if not treated at the right time.

Because early prostate cancer often shows no symptoms, many patients are diagnosed at intermediate or advanced stages. This makes treatment planning more complex and increases the need for specialised care.

Why does prostate cancer develop?

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

• Increasing age, especially after 50 years
• Family history of prostate cancer
• Hormonal influence, particularly testosterone
• Unhealthy diet high in fat and low in fibre
• Obesity and lack of physical activity
• Genetic mutations and chronic inflammation

Stages of prostate cancer

Understanding the stage of prostate cancer helps doctors choose the right treatment:

• 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 other organs

Common symptoms of prostate cancer

Symptoms often appear in later stages and may include:

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

How prostate cancer is diagnosed

Patients from Jaipur can undergo diagnostic tests locally and share reports online for expert evaluation:

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

Why many patients are not suitable for surgery

• Advanced-stage or metastatic prostate cancer
• High surgical risk due to age or other medical problems
• Fear of urinary incontinence or sexual dysfunction
• Poor general health or liver/kidney issues
• Patient preference to avoid major surgery

Advanced non-surgical prostate cancer treatments at Fuda

NanoKnife (Irreversible Electroporation)

NanoKnife uses controlled electrical pulses to destroy cancer cells without heat. It preserves nearby nerves and blood vessels and is especially useful for tumours close to critical structures.

Cryotherapy

Cryotherapy freezes prostate cancer cells, causing tumour destruction with minimal bleeding and shorter recovery time.

Brachytherapy

Brachytherapy places radioactive seeds inside or near the prostate, delivering high-dose radiation directly to the tumour.

Hormone Therapy

Hormone therapy reduces testosterone levels that fuel prostate cancer growth and is often used for advanced disease.

Combined Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy helps the immune system recognise and attack cancer cells and may be combined with other treatments.
