What Is Prostate Cancer?
Prostate cancer is a disease where cells in the prostate gland grow uncontrollably, forming a tumor. The prostate gland is a small, walnut-sized gland in men that produces semen and surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine and semen out of the body.
The exact cause of prostate cancer is not known, but risk factors include age, family history, and genetic mutations. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide, with over 1.4 million new cases diagnosed each year.
Why Kenyan Patients Choose India for Prostate Cancer Treatment
Kenyan patients are increasingly choosing India for prostate cancer treatment due to its affordability, high-quality medical care, and state-of-the-art facilities. Indian hospitals offer world-class treatment at a fraction of the cost compared to Western countries.
MediBridge Healthcare connects Kenyan patients with top Indian hospitals and specialists, providing a seamless and stress-free experience. Our patients enjoy personalized attention, expert care, and a warm welcome in India.
Treatment Options Available in India
At MediBridge, we offer three advanced treatment options for prostate cancer in India:
- Robotic Prostatectomy: A minimally invasive surgery to remove the prostate gland using a robotic system, such as the da Vinci. This offers greater precision and faster recovery for prostate cancer patients.
- Proton Beam Therapy: An advanced form of radiation therapy that uses protons instead of X-rays to precisely target and destroy cancer cells, sparing healthy tissues.
- High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU): A non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound waves to generate heat and destroy targeted tissue, such as prostate cancer cells, without cutting the skin.
