Prostate cancer treatment at Assuta Medical Center is carried out applying surgery and radiotherapy.
Specialists of the Clinic use Da Vinci robotic system to remove the tumor. It performs the intervention through the incisions up to 1-2 cm. After the procedure, man’s erectile and urinating functions are preserved.
Radiotherapy is conducted applying remote or contact methods (brachytherapy). Remote radiation therapy is performed using a linear accelerator. It determines the location of the tumor, the required dose of radiation and accurately affects the tumor. During brachytherapy, a doctor places the radioactive substance in the tumor and destroys it from the inside.
