Multidisciplinary teams
In recent years, the management of many medical conditions, especially cancer, has been carried out by teams made up of different specialties involved in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. The formation of multidisciplinary committees, in addition to ensuring comprehensive care for each person with prostate cancer, has proven to improve patient survival.
When it comes to cancer, time is of the essence and every decision can make a critical difference in treatment planning. That is why at ROC Clinic, once diagnosed, our patients benefit from a comprehensive prostate cancer consultation service, always under a multidisciplinary approach that brings together the latest in research, technology and the experience of the best professionals. Prior to this consultation, every two weeks, we bring together expert surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists and pathologists focused on the disease to perform, together, a comprehensive evaluation of each case and assess treatment options. Our goal is that this collaborative approach allows our patients to clarify all their doubts in the consultation, to have a solid treatment plan and to feel confident that they have a group of specialists focused on their disease at their disposal.
This model of medical care has led us to be among the best urology services in the Spanish healthcare system. The Urology Services of the University Hospitals HM Sanchinarro and HM Montepríncipe, led by Dr. Javier Romero-Otero, are recognized among the best in Spain by the Health Reputation Monitor.
They ask us in the Consultation
At what age is it necessary to have a prostate check-up?
At the age of 50 it is advisable to have a PSA, a blood test to measure the Prostate Specific Antigen that helps to detect possible abnormalities in the prostate. If you have a family history of breast or prostate cancer, it is recommended to start screening at around 45 years of age due to the increased risk associated with prostate cancer.
How is a prostate checkup performed?
It is sufficient to perform PSA and a digital rectal examination -especially if the PSA is higher than 2.5-. On some occasions ultrasound, flowmetry or even genetic tests can be performed to study different aspects of the prostate.
I have localized prostate cancer, what are my options? Can I be cured?
It is normal to be frightened, but we have many options for a cure. Localized prostate cancer refers to cancer that is confined to the prostate gland only, with no evidence of spread to other parts of the body. This stage offers several treatment options with a high likelihood of cure. Depending on the characteristics of the tumor, we can consider focal treatment, prostatectomy or radiotherapy. It is important to carefully weigh the pros and cons of each of the treatments and to carry out a personalized therapy. Most men with early diagnosis and adequate treatment can expect a complete cure.
What are the possible sequelae of prostate surgery?
The most common are erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence. It is especially important for the surgeon to be very experienced in order to respect the nerves that give erection, since this has been related to better erection and better continence. The appearance and duration of these sequelae depend on factors such as the type of surgery performed, the technique used and the individual characteristics of each patient. It is essential to follow medical indications and attend follow-up consultations to ensure optimal recovery.
