For you, it means five or fewer treatments, compared to 40 treatments with traditional radiation, and a low occurrence of erectile dysfunction. With CyberKnife®, there’s no pain, no incision, and no hospital stay.

Cancer doesn’t fight fair, neither should you.

The prostate is a walnut-shaped organ in a man’s lower abdomen that controls the flow of urine and semen through the penis. Prostate cancer is among the leading causes of cancer death among American men, second only to lung cancer. There is no single cause of prostate cancer, though there are several known risk factors:

  • Age – Risks generally increase for older men.
  • Race – African-American men have a higher risk for unknown reasons.
  • Nationality – Asian men, for example, have a lower risk.
  • Diet – Red meat and dairy products tend to increase risk. Several studies suggest that some dietary supplements like vitamin E and lycopene may reduce risks.
  • Lack of exercise
  • Family history of prostate cancer

Prostate TumorWhat are the symptoms of prostate cancer?

Early-stage prostate cancer usually has no symptoms. Older men may experience frequent urination, though it’s likely due to an enlarged prostate in a condition known as benign prostatic hypertrophy, or BPH. Pain or bleeding is not commonly associated with early stages.

Prostate cancer is suspected if men have an elevated level of a substance in the bloodstream known as prostate specific antigen, or they have an abnormality like a nodule found during a digital rectal examination. A prostate-cancer diagnosis is confirmed, however, only through biopsy. If cancer is found, doctors determine the amount of risk to the patient based on specific biopsy findings.
