Patients with suspicious examination findings and/or PSA values are subject to multiple prostate needle biopsy under general anesthesia in the Same Day Surgery service (SDS). Robotic Radical Prostatectomy: Patients diagnosed with prostate cancer as a result of pathologic examinations are treated by Robotic Radical Prostatectomy operation. Open surgery: Open surgery can be used in patients who are not suitable for robotic surgery. Hormone therapy (HT) and Radiation Therapy (RT): Hormone therapy (HT) and radiation therapy (RT) lead to successful results in patients with locally advanced prostate cancer or who are not suitable for surgery. Other therapies: In widespread metastatic disease, surgical orchidectomy (removal of testicles) or medical (hormone therapy) castration and chemotherapy are used. 2.

Chemotherapy: To prevent superficial bladder tumors, one-time chemotherapy drugs may be administered into the bladder as a complementary treatment. Cystoscopy. According to pathology results, patients with tumors limited to the surface are checked once every 3 months using cystoscopy. Radical Cystectomy: If muscle invasive carcinoma of the bladder is detected as a result of pathologic examinations, it may be necessary to remove the pelvic lymph nodes and to make a new bladder from the small intestine.
