- Dr. William Stiles, board certified Urological Surgeon, Osteopathic Physician, Men's Health Expert and functional medicine trained doctor educates men about various prostate conditions, including prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), chronic prostatitis, interstitial cystitis, erectile dysfunction, hormones, and whole body optimization.
Estimated one in seven men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. An estimated 220,000 men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year. Prostate cancer can be a complex issue for the patient and his family to understand. There are many treatment options for prostate cancer including surgical removal of the prostate, external beam radiation (IMRT / SBRT), proton beam therapy, cryotherapy, hormone treatment, chemotherapy, focal treatment, and even not immediately treating prostate cancer for low risk cases (Active surveillance). Early detection of prostate cancer is important. Most prostate cancers are detected when the cancer is still contained within the prostate gland, but some cancers are advanced and have moved outside of the prostate gland (metastatic). Each person with prostate cancer has their own unique conditions and situations that can affect treatment decisions going forward. Cancer staging radiographs (CT scan, bone scan, PET scan, MRI, etc) are often done by the urologist that performed the prostate biopsy to assess for spread of cancer outside of the prostate.
Regardless, of the treatment you choose for prostate cancer, optimizing overall health and wellness is an important part of any successful treatment plan.

Thanks a lot Sir.
Most welcome !
Great video very thorough I think you explained everything very well. I am post up for my robotic process. To take to me at this point and still have the foley catheter in. I am a physician myself and I would recommend this procedure to anyone that is in good health that is serious about getting rid of the cancer
Thank you Dr. Yates.
Robotic surgery certainly is one of many suitable options for organ confined prostate cancer. It sounds like you are doing great !
Blessings for good health !
Thank you for your inspiration and depth of knowledge!!!
I’ve got prostate cancer . I’ve weighed the risks of both ,I chose radiation treatments over surgery. I had discussions with surgeon and radiologist. I y case this seems best for me . Start this week . Everyone facing this horrible diagnosis has too chose their own path ,information and your own research is highly advised. Good luck everyone.
Thank you for sharing Donald.
I always say that choosing what to do for prostate cancer is one of the toughest decisions a man will make in his lifetime. I wish you the best !!!
My husband had robotic prostate removal July 19th. He is incontinent seeing a pelvic floor PT. Will continence return?
Incontinence (loss of urine) after radical prostatectomy

According to another website I went to, male pattern baldness, enlarged prostate, and prostate cancer are all far less common in Asia than in places like the U.S. A major benefit is the mushrooms found in the Asian diet. Enlarged prostate and male pattern baldness have exactly the same cause: Excessive conversion of testosterone into DHT.
I think one advantage is you get it all over and go onto the mend. If it goes well then your worst day should be right after surgery. Other forms of treatment may involve side effects getting worse over time rather than better.
Thank you for your comments Kerry !
helpful
Thank you for watching
At 56 going on my second battle with cancer. First battle was stage 4 head and neck, this one is prostate cancer, I have chosen robotic prostatectomy, the more I search the more confused I get. Often asking myself , did I make the right decision? Is it normal to second guess or is my subconscious telling me differently?
I always say that choosing what to do for prostate cancer is one of the toughest decisions a man will make in his lifetime.
There are many potential treatments, all of which have different cancer control and side effect profiles.
I am always in favor of improving body health and immunity regardless of the treatment you choose.
At my age (71) and having been in the best health while on TRT, I have ZERO interest in being castrated (ADT) to "cure" cancer. Quality of life matters.
Glad to hear you are doing well !
Why robot? Those devices are not better and more effective than the classical anatomical operation! With robots, we operate much more expensive, but not better! Robotics is just a great illusion promoted by industry and some crazzy "professors"
Robotic assist radical prostatectomy has become the standard of care in the USA for removing a cancerous prostate gland. Known benefits include less blood loss, shorter hospitalization, and decreased pain after surgery.
@@theprostatecoach8058 I am sorry. I cannot accept that opinion. Robotic assisted prostatectomy become a standard of care owing to the omnipotent industry advertisement. There is no clinical study that demonstrates superiority of the robotic technology over the classical anatomical operation. In fact, recurrence rates are identical. So, the application of robots do not improve survival of cancer patients! In summary, we do not operate better using robots. We just operate much more expensive. In addition, we suffer owing to a big illusion that robotic technology is something truly better. I fond absolutely no benefits. Even the claim:"less pain" is not true😀
