Approach To Treatment of Prostate Cancer: A Multidisciplinary & Individualized Approach External Beam Radiation Open Surgery Watchful Waiting Brachytherapy Robotic Surgery
Treatment Options for Prostate Cancer • Active Surveillance • Radiation Therapy • External Beam • Brachytherapy aka “seeds” • HDR Therapy • Proton Therapy • Hormonal Therapy • Chemotherapy • Surgery • Robotics • Laparoscopic • Traditional Open • Retropubic • Perineal • Cryosurgery • HIFU
“One Size Does NOT Fit All” Age Gleason Grade Stage Co-Morbidities Individual Characteristics
What does a positive biopsy mean? 7 8 9 LOW GRADE HIGH GRADE Gleason Grade Gleason 6 Gleason 10
Staging • Clinical: • DRE • CT Scan • Bone Scan • MRI • Pathological: • Margins • Lymph nodes • Extracapsular Extension • Seminal Vesical Invasion
Robotic Surgery Decreased Pain Shorter Hospital Stay Decreased Blood Loss Quicker Recovery Improved Quality of Life after Surgery
Current Trends 36% 63%
How do attributes of robotic surgical systems translate into outcomes? • Operative parameters • Oncologic parameters • Quality of life parameters • Potency & continence

What questions should I ask? Training? Fellowship? Experience? How many cases have you done? Reputation? Having a robot and knowing how to do robotic surgery are very different things?
