Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men, but with early detection and advanced treatment options, it is highly manageable. Dr. Pawan Rahangdale, a renowned urologist and prostate cancer specialist in Pune, provides comprehensive and personalized treatment for prostate cancer at Urovision Urology Care Clinic.

The prostate is below the bladder (the hollow organ where urine is stored) and in front of the rectum (the last part of the intestines). Just behind the prostate are glands called seminal vesicles that make most of the fluid for semen. The urethra, which is the tube that carries urine and semen out of the body through the penis, goes through the center of the prostate.

Testes Cancer

Understanding Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer develops in the prostate gland, a small walnut-shaped gland that produces seminal fluid. While it often grows slowly, some aggressive cases require prompt medical intervention. Common symptoms include:

  • Frequent urination, especially at night
  • Weak or interrupted urine flow
  • Blood in urine or semen
  • Painful urination or ejaculation
  • Discomfort in the pelvic area

Advanced Diagnosis for Accurate Detection

Dr. Pawan Rahangdale emphasizes early diagnosis through state-of-the-art technology, ensuring precise detection and effective treatment planning. Diagnostic tests include:

  • PSA Test (Prostate-Specific Antigen): Measures PSA levels in the blood.
  • Digital Rectal Exam (DRE): A physical examination to check for abnormalities.
  • MRI and CT Scans: Provide detailed imaging of the prostate.
  • Prostate Biopsy: Confirms the presence of cancerous cells.

Personalized Treatment Options

Dr. Rahangdale tailors each treatment plan based on the stage and aggressiveness of cancer, patient health, and preferences. Treatment options include:

1. Active Surveillance

For slow-growing prostate cancer, regular monitoring with PSA tests and imaging helps avoid unnecessary interventions.

2. Surgery – Radical Prostatectomy

Dr. Rahangdale specializes in laparoscopic and robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy, ensuring minimal invasiveness, faster recovery, and reduced complications.

3. Radiation Therapy

External beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and brachytherapy (internal radiation) target cancerous cells while preserving healthy tissues.

4. Hormone Therapy

This treatment lowers testosterone levels, slowing the growth of prostate cancer cells.

5. Chemotherapy & Immunotherapy

For advanced cases, chemotherapy and immunotherapy help target and destroy cancer cells effectively.
