Frequently Asked Questions about Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and affects the prostate gland. It usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 75.
When detected early and treated appropriately, the prognosis is often good. The mortality rate is relatively low compared with many other types of cancer.
Prostate cancer can be a serious condition, but it often grows slowly. Careful diagnostics and individually tailored treatment allow successful treatment in many cases.
Robot-assisted prostatectomy is considered an international standard. In the hands of an experienced urologist such as Dr Witt in Düsseldorf, this technique can achieve optimal results.
In robot-assisted surgery, the surgeon precisely controls robotic arms, allowing the procedure to be performed through small incisions and supporting faster recovery.
Prostate cancer often causes no symptoms in its early stages. Regular preventive examinations and early detection are therefore important.
An elevated PSA level can indicate prostate cancer, but it is not conclusive on its own. Further examinations are required to establish an accurate diagnosis.
Modern surgical techniques such as robot-assisted surgery can significantly reduce the risk of urinary incontinence.
The preservation of erectile function depends on several factors. Nerve-sparing surgical techniques can improve the chances of maintaining erectile function.
This method allows tissue samples to be examined immediately during surgery, helping to increase the precision and effectiveness of the procedure.
No. In robot-assisted surgery, the experienced surgeon remains in complete control of the system at all times. The robot does not make any decisions of its own; instead, it translates the surgeon’s movements with exceptional precision and control.
No. Whether surgery is appropriate depends on the stage of the tumour, the individual risk profile, and personal factors. In many cases, several treatment options are available and should be carefully weighed against one another.
Robot-assisted surgery enables particularly precise procedures using highly refined instruments. This allows surrounding structures to be preserved more effectively, which can have a positive impact on functional outcomes, pain, and recovery time.
The chances depend on several factors, including the tumour stage, individual anatomy, and the surgical technique used. Modern, highly precise procedures such as robot-assisted surgery can help preserve important nerve structures as effectively as possible.
Many patients are mobile again within just a few days. Full recovery varies from person to person, but modern surgical techniques often allow faster recovery than conventional open surgery.
A second opinion is particularly advisable after an initial cancer diagnosis or when several treatment options are available. It can help you make a well-informed and confident treatment decision.
Blood in the urine should always be medically investigated. It can be an early sign of bladder cancer, although there may also be other causes. In every case, timely medical assessment is important.
