Do you know the prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men after skin cancer. According to a survey revealed that in 2007 alone approximately 219,000 men–30,000 of them African-American men were diagnosed with this kind of disease. Middle-aged men are more likely to be caught with this cancer and the rate is as twice as likely to die. However, thanks to the advanced technology, the cure rates of this cancer has been improved over the last decade, primarily because of better techniques of screening invented by the advanced technology. For the first years, before the advanced technology was common, the doctors could adapt only one treatment method that was the removal of the prostate gland, which could lead to impotence and incontinence. But with advanced technology nowadays, there are several less-invasive treatment options for men who are concerned about functioning sexually after being treated. They include:
The Robotic prostatectomy, a kind of new method invented in recently by the help of advanced technology, with it men who are troubled with series of malfunction of the prostate could once more find their bright future, This laparoscopic robotic prostatectomy offers patients a less invasive surgical alternative to removing the prostate gland. Unlike the large incision required for open surgery, the laparoscopic robotic procedure developed by the advanced technology requires several small incisions made in the abdomen to insert a lighted camera and robotic arms that the surgeon controls from a nearby console providing excellent visualization, you can imagine, if without this advanced technology, how people could develop this advanced technique and help people to reduce their pains and troubles, Since thanks to the advanced technology, the robotic arms give the surgeon superior precision, because the long and care study of this advanced technology, experts develop this nerve-sparing operation has high rates of bladder control and potency retention. the average time of taking operation is less than 23 hours. There is very little blood loss and minimal post-surgical need for pain medication. Also thanks to the technology the patient can usually resume normal activities within two weeks.
Another method—external radiation,
Thanks to the rapid progress of advanced technology in recently, external radiation now offers more advanced therapies with Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT), these two kinds of advanced technology, we have made great progress on this fields, for example, IMRT allows higher doses of radiation to target the prostate for a more effective treatment, while surrounding areas such as the bladder, rectum and other pelvic organs receive much lower doses, the particular advanced technology help to minimize the toxicity of radiation. While for the technology of IGRT, it uses radiation beams with X-ray images to allow for more precision in guiding radiation to tumors then to remove it and finally lead to a healthy and promising future to them.
