Why Choose UVa for Prostate Health?
UVa provides a full range of clinical services for prostate health and offers multiple treatment options for men with prostate cancer including • daVinci robotic surgery system Minimally invasive surgery, done through very small incisions, that allows the surgeon to better avoid muscles and nerves that control continence and potency, resulting in less trauma to the body, less blood loss, less pain and quicker recovery than traditional open surgery. • Tomotherapy radiation therapy Advanced radiation therapy system which can precisely pinpoint the tumor, delivering radiation from any point in a 360-degree circle around the patient, resulting in more localized and accurate treatment of the tumor -with less damage to healthy tissue. • Brachytherapy An approach where small radioactive “seeds” are implanted very close in the area being treated, effectively delivering radiation to destroy cancerous cells in the prostate while minimizing the affect of radiation to the surrounding tissue.
