Prostate Cancer in Dubai

Prostate cancer is a significant health concern that affects a large number of men around the world. One in every eight men is estimated to be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point. To raise awareness about this disease and help men take proactive steps towards prevention and treatment, we are here to provide you with important information about prostate cancer.
The prostate is a small gland that can be found just below the bladder in men. It is an essential part of the male reproductive system, as it produces and secretes a fluid that maintains and protects sperm during ejaculation.

Prostate cancer happens when the cells in the prostate gland begin to grow and divide uncontrollably, leading to the development of a tumour. Over time, the tumour can spread to other body parts, such as the bones or lymph nodes.
Men must be aware of the signs and symptoms of prostate cancer and talk to their doctor about any concerns they may have. Early detection and treatment can significantly improve outcomes for men with prostate cancer, so it is important to take charge of your health and well-being.
If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, seeking the best possible medical care is essential. We recommend the German Medical Center (GMC) in Dubai. The GMC is a state-of-the-art medical facility that provides advanced and personalized care for patients with prostate cancer.
Don’t let prostate cancer take control of your life. Please take action today by contacting the German Medical Center in Dubai and scheduling a consultation with their team of experts. Together, we can fight against this disease and improve the lives of those affected.

In its early stages, prostate cancer may not cause any symptoms. This is why it is essential for men to undergo routine prostate cancer screenings, such as a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test and a digital rectal exam (DRE), especially if they are at higher risk for the disease. However, as prostate cancer progresses, some common signs and symptoms may include:
  1. Difficulty urinating: Men with prostate cancer may experience various urinary symptoms, such as a weak or interrupted urine flow, urinating more frequently, especially at night (nocturia), or the sudden urge to urinate.
  2. Pain or burning during urination or ejaculation: Prostate cancer can cause pain or a burning sensation during urination or ejaculation, due to inflammation or irritation in the prostate gland.
  3. Blood in the urine or semen: Prostate cancer may cause blood to appear in the urine or semen, which can also be a sign of other conditions. Men who experience this symptom should consult a doctor to determine the underlying cause.
  4. Pain or discomfort in the pelvic area or lower back: Prostate cancer can bring pain or discomfort in the pelvic region, lower back, or hips. This pain may be dull or sharp and may come and go.
  5. Erectile dysfunction (difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection): Prostate cancer can affect a man's ability to achieve or maintain an erection. This may be due to the tumour or the treatment used to fight it.
While the exact causes of prostate cancer are not fully understood, several factors have been identified as potential contributors to the development of the disease. Some of these factors include:
  1. Age: As men age, their risk of developing prostate cancer increases. This is likely partly due to the fact that the prostate gland naturally enlarges with age, which can lead to a higher likelihood of abnormal cell growth and division.
  2. Family history: Men with a family history of prostate cancer, particularly a brother or father diagnosed, are at a higher risk of developing the disease. In some cases, this may be due to inherited genetic mutations that increase the risk of prostate cancer.
  3. Inflammation: Chronic inflammation of the prostate gland, such as that caused by prostatitis, may increase the risk of developing prostate cancer. Inflammation can cause DNA damage and cell mutations, which can lead to the development of cancer.
  4. Hormones: The male hormone testosterone plays a role in the development and growth of the prostate gland. Some studies have suggested that higher testosterone levels or other male hormones may increase the risk of prostate cancer.
  5. Lifestyle factors: Certain lifestyle factors, such as a diet high in red meat and low in fruits and vegetables, smoking, and obesity, may increase the risk of developing prostate cancer. Additionally, some studies have suggested that men with an enlarged prostate, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), may have a slightly higher risk of developing prostate cancer.
There are several treatment options available for prostate cancer, depending on the stage of cancer, the aggressiveness of the cancer cells, and the overall health and preferences of the patient. Some of the most common treatment options for prostate cancer include:
  1. Active surveillance: Active management may be recommended for men with low-grade or slow-growing prostate cancer. This involves closely monitoring cancer with regular PSA blood tests, digital rectal exams, and sometimes prostate biopsies to ensure it is not growing or spreading. If cancer starts to progress, other treatment options may be recommended.
  2. Prostate Cancer Surgery: Several types of prostate cancer treatment surgery are to be considered, and the course of action would depend on the stage and grade of cancer. Below is the most common type of surgery:
    1. Radical prostatectomy: Also known as prostate removal surgery, it is a surgery that involves the removal of the entire prostate gland, as well as nearby lymph nodes. It can be performed using open surgery, in which a single large incision is made in the abdomen or minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopic or robot-assisted surgery.
    2. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy: This surgery, also known as robotic prostate surgery, is similar to a traditional laparoscopic prostatectomy but uses a mechanical system to help the surgeon control the surgical instruments with greater precision and flexibility.
    3. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP): This surgery relieves symptoms of enlarged prostate treatment but may also be used to remove small tumours or cancerous tissue from the prostate gland. It involves inserting a narrow, lighted tube called a cystoscope through the urethra to access the prostate gland and remove tissue using a wire loop or other instrument.
  3. Radiation therapy: Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation beams to kill cancer cells. It can be delivered externally using a machine outside the body or internally using small radioactive pellets implanted into the prostate gland. Radiation therapy may be used alone for early-stage prostate cancer or with other treatments for more advanced cancers.
  4. Hormone therapy: Hormone therapy, also known as androgen deprivation therapy, blocks the production or activity of male hormones, such as testosterone, that can fuel the growth of prostate cancer cells. It may be used alone or with other advanced or aggressive prostate cancer treatments.
  5. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells throughout the body. It may treat advanced prostate cancer that has spread beyond the prostate gland.
  6. Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy uses the body's immune system to fight cancer cells. It may be used to treat advanced prostate cancer that is not responding to other treatments.
In conclusion, prostate cancer is a severe condition that can significantly impact a man's health and quality of life. However, with early detection and appropriate treatment, many men with prostate cancer can go on to live long and healthy lives. German Medical Center (GMC) in Dubai is one of the best prostate cancer treatment centers in the region and houses the best doctor for prostate surgery.
