Robotic Treatment Option for Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer inmen. When detected early, the majorityof cases are confined to the prostate gland itself. Focal therapies for treating localizedcancerous tumors, which focus only on those parts of the prostate affected bythe cancer, have emerged as an alternative to whole-gland procedures, which canlead to impotence and incontinence. Focallaser ablation (FLA) is a leading focal therapy which efficiently treats thetumor while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. Though widely used, current FLA methods areinefficient, inaccurate, and require a great deal of manual guidance by thephysician. This technology successfully addressesthese problems without compromising efficacy, placing itself at the forefront ofprostate cancer treatment.
