Surgery
Surgery is often the primary prostate cancer treatment in Ahmedabad, India, there are several surgical options available, including open prostatectomy, laparoscopic prostatectomy, and robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy. These procedures aim to remove the cancerous tissue and can be highly effective when performed by skilled and experienced surgeons.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy applies high-energy rays to destroy cancer cells. In India, two types of radiation therapy are available: external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy. External beam radiation therapy is regulated from outside the body and can be highly targeted to minimize damage to healthy tissue. Brachytherapy includes the insertion of radioactive seeds into the prostate gland to kill cancer cells.
Hormone Therapy
Prostate cancer often relies on the male hormone testosterone to grow. Hormone therapy works by blocking the production of testosterone, which can help slow or gradually stop the growth of cancer cells. Hormone therapy can be administered through injections or oral medication and is often used with other treatments.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy uses powerful legal drugs to kill cancer cells throughout the body. While it is not typically the first line of treatment for prostate cancer, it can be effective in treating more advanced cases of the disease. Chemotherapy is usually administered intravenously and can have side effects such as nausea, hair loss, and fatigue.

TURP (TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION OF PROSTATE)
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a surgical procedure applied to treat urinary problems caused by an enlarged prostate gland. It is one of the most common surgeries performed on men.
During a TURP procedure, a surgeon uses a unique instrument called a resectoscope to remove small pieces of prostate tissue blocking urine flow. The resectoscope is inserted into the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body. The prostate tissue is then removed in small pieces, and a catheter may be inserted to help drain urine from the bladder for a short time after the surgery.
