PROSTATE CANCER – KNOW YOUR OPTIONS

Prostate Cancer is the third most common male cancer in Singapore.

Men with Prostate Cancer that has not spread have a choice of treatments with comparable cure rates.

ROBOTIC
PROSTATECTOMY

BRACHYTHERAPY

INTENSITY MODULATED
RADIOTHERAPY

STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY

Treatment Selection

The conduct, side effect and risk profile of each of the treatments is different.

The consideration for treatment selection should be based on:

  • Disease Characteristics
  • Patient Characteristics
  • Patient’s preference e.g. invasiveness of treatment

For example, a patient who has an early cancer and wants an outpatient, non-invasive (no cutting, or insertion of needles) but convenient treatment (5 half hourly sessions in under 2 weeks) can opt for Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) to the prostate.

For cancers that have spread beyond the prostate area e.g. to the bones (Stage IV), besides chemotherapy, the armament of effective treatments have increased recently.

ORAL HORMONE THERAPY

ALPHA RADIUM

TARGETED EXTERNAL BEAM
RADIOTHERAPY

TARGETED RADIONUCLIDE THERAPY

These treatments are generally well tolerated by most patients.

The Role of the Oncologist

An oncologist is a cancer doctor who can give an overall assessment, deliver treatment for and coordinate care of a particular cancer. He/she may be trained in treating cancer with drugs, radiation therapy or both.

Further, it is ideal to be seen early by an oncologist who is a subspecialist e.g. further specialised in treating prostate cancer. That way, a holistic, comprehensive and individualised plan can be formulated.

AARO doctors are clinical oncologists who have received training in both drug and radiation treatment for cancer. The group offers subspecialty expertise and a balanced, evidence-based treatment philosophy.

No matter which stage the patient is at his prostate cancer journey – right after diagnosis, seeking 2nd opinion or viable treatment alternatives – we are able to advise and provide suitable treatment.
